That you should think, we come not to offend,
But with good will. To show our simple skill.
That is the true beginning of our end.
Consider then we hut in despite.
We do not come as minding to content you,
Our true intent is. All for your delight
We are not here. That you should here repent you.

This has been another year in our college life but not
just another ... It was a special year with its own par-
ticular meaning for each one of us. Let's reflect a little.
The Silhouette staff has made this book to mirror some of
the unique memories of 195 5. We hope to have preserved
the essence of mirrors . . . the background is the same
for all, but each one sees the image in relation to himself.

As we look back over 195 5 we choose for the dedication
of our yearbook one long since deserving recognition. He
is Dr. George P. Hayes, professor of English and pos-
sessor of amazing capacity, and these reflections of the
year just would not be complete without the special
attention due him.

Early known as "Pop Quiz" Hayes, his continuing age-
less spirit, his completely open manner and his honest
intellect have always sought to preserve the best of youth,
sincerity and truth, and his ready grin and slightly tousled
hair accompany him as closely as the free enjoyment of
life they express.

We can remember fervent ejaculations we heard from the
lips of various members of his classes "I got a B on my
Tom Jones paper! Hayes!!" "Oh, panic, Robert Frost
would have to come the night before our Shakespeare ob-
jective quiz!" "What? scared of him? Heavens, no! I
just love him!" Then there were always the windows
thrown wide open, the proverbial "pop quizes," the one-
question exams, the outdoor Milton and Donne class, and
the oflSce (that much resembles that of a "starving artist")
in the basement of Presser.

Besides his curricular business, Dr. Hayes had the debaters
to direct and advise; he was always an unofficial "presence"
among us commoners in the dining hall, in the Hub, and
on the dance floor, and did he ever pitch a mean Softball
as headkerchiefed manager of the faculty Softball team!
At home, our good-natured, easy-going professor has a
French wife, to whom along with his grown-up children
and young grand-children he frequently referred, and we
remember this as a great part of his life.
Don't go 'way . . . there's more . . . even after contending
with college girls all day six days a week. Dr. Hayes very
willingly led a Boy Scout troop in Decatur! (Could it be
we didn't keep him busy enough??)

Now, if you will reread this dedication you are sure to
find a hint of how this man lives the ideals of mental,
spiritual, social and physical growth. In recognition of
all he has done for us, directly and indirectly, silently and
openly, we respectfully dedicate the 195 5 Silhouette to
one in learning far above us, yet in spirit one of us.
"This above all, to thine oiun self be true;
And it must follonj as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."

"A wonderful time, but lots of work" could describe
any of the three retreats held the week-end before upper-
classmen reported for fall quarter. Christian Association
and Student Government appropriately enough met on
Georgia's Hard Labor Creek; Athletic Association traveled
a little bit farther to Montreat in North Carolina. The
purpose of each of the retreats was to make plans for the
19 54-5 S college year and each group was working for the
best year ever. Christian Association between periods of
devotion (and swimming) decided on a theme for the
entire year, Micah 6; 6, and outlined an entire program
based on the theme. Student Government heard the re-
ports of committees which had been formed the preceding
spring in extended meetings at Miss Scandrett's. Individual
members and committees made various rule requests, and
the budget was agreed upon. The most important deci-
sion of the Student Government Fall Retreat was a revi-
sion of the honor system with the important new clause
saying that a student is not obligated to report students
violating the system but simply expected to talk to that
person requesting her to discuss her case with a member

of Executive Council. Athletic Association, at its retreat,
met for the first time the new advisor, Miss "Dusty" Boyce.
Plans were made to add ritlery as a regular class and to
play other schools in a number of sports. Perhaps of great-
est interest to the largest number of students, were the

plans for Agnes Scott blazers. It was decided that these
plans were to be presented to the student body and, if
accepted, a contest was to be held for the pocket design.
All of the groups returned to school tired but able to
assure everyone. "I wouldn't have missed it for the world."

Christian Association members held a quiet devotional service
by the lake before beginning work on the progr.im for 1954-5 5.

Dr Wallace M. Alston, President, greeted us from his desk.
Mr. Walter E. McNair, Assistant to the President, Dean S. G.
Stukes, Dean of the Faculty, and Registrar, and Mary Louise

At the top of each freshman's list of people to meet was the
President of our college and community. Dr. Alston. His
warm welcome and gracious delightment in meeting each
freshman was not only impressive, but suggestive of his
leadership and guidance. Later in the year, it was clearly

ck Hall, the center of campus administration.

seen how big a part he played in the blessing that came
to our campus in endowments. Our freshmen met his
secretary, Mary Louise Winter, and were greatly im-
pressed with her many duties and competence. Besides
checking convocation attendance, sending birthday greet-
ings, and answering correspondence, she was responsible
for all appointments for either students or faculty.
Next on the list was the affable Dean Stukes, who leads
the faculty and registration,
but who was most of all, a
personal friend in every stu-
dent. Any freshman would
begin to feel more at ease
when as dignified a gentleman
.IS Dr. Stukes would stop and
talk to her about her dog, her
cat, or the grades she made in
the fifth grade. The office just
across the hall from Dr.
Stukes' was Mr. Rogers', the
business manager, and he just
happened to be in. He was
usually dashing about, buying
equipment for dorms and din-
ing hall, supervising the main-
tenance, the budget and all
repairs.

Not far from the offices of Mr. Rogers and Dean Stukes
were those inhabited by the directors of all Alumnae ac-
tivities. This student could never forget the first time
she met Ann Worthy Johnson and Mitzi Kiser. She was
overwhelmed at the enormity of their job; directing pub-
licity and alumnae affairs. This entailed much work
other than just keeping records of graduates. They ar-
ranged class reunions like the one this year for the class
of 1933. They sent to all alumnae our special bulletins
of the large endowment gift the college received this year,
held local alumnae meetings on campus in the Alumnae
House, and housed special guests visiting Agnes Scott, such
as our religious emphasis speaker. Another special activity
of theirs this year was the sale of Agnes Scott plates, which
were made available to everyone interested.
Leaving Buttrick Hall and again crossing the quadrangle,
one student remembers meeting the two people who were
directly responsible for the actual home of her college life.
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Wynn, Supervisor and Assistant
to the Supervisor of Dormitories, were hard to catch be-
tween duties. They were racing wildly here and there,
trying to make certain that all was safe and ready for
the influx of returning students and new freshmen. Their
main interest was to make the dormitories as comfortable
as possible, but in no way to endanger the lives of any
students. But they succeeded and the set of dormitory
regulations that each freshman received was respected and
obeyed, making dormitory life pleasant to all.

Upstairs in Main Building was the Dean's Office. Around
this section of Main and the people connected with it
revolved the entire social life of Agnes Scott. It was in
this office that each freshman met her "mother" for the
year. Tuck and Mrs. Curry, in charge of Inman and
Hopkins dorms, immediately welcomed with open arms
each new "daughter" in this new college household.
"Tavie" Garlington was the senior resident in Rebckah
and Mrs. McCracken was in Main.

Visiting around the new student was amazed by the
beauty and the charm of the McCain library, maintained
by Mrs. Byers and her staff. The beautiful furnishings,
the solitude of the carrels, the rows and rows of books,
and the peace and quiet contributed not only to an aca-
demic desire to study, but also to relaxation and enjoyment.
Each Freshman was given a brief course in library tech-
niques so that she might begin work on her research paper
without any handicap. The staff kept the campus up with
all current activities by preparing exhibits in the reserved
book room and in the lobby. They were especially proud
of their Robert Frost collection, which included not only
books, but many personal letters.

On the way back to her dorm, our interested friend stepped
off at the charming building next to the gym. In the in-
firmary. Dr. Alexander and the resident nurses assured
her of their ability and readiness to deal with anything
from a bump on the head to a high fever. The decorations
and the facilities of the Infirmary pleased and reassured
this healthy freshman, making clear that any stay with
the "Doctor's family" would be completely comfortable.
Concluding her tour before registration, the last stop was
the dining hall. The tremendous surprise in finding that
such a beautiful Gothic building as this was actually a
dining hall will never be overcome by all of the new stu-
dents. The beauty of the red leather doors, the attractive
furniture and the lovely color scheme were admired
daily. The peaceful orderliness, the comfort of the friendly
table arrangement, and the good food made each girl look
forward to meal times with no anxiety other than just
hunger.

Probably the most exciting adventure of preparation for
all coming to Agnes Scott was the meeting with Miss
Scandrett. So full of enthusiasm herself, she could not
help but be pleased with the optimism and impatience of
the new students.

The freshman was amazed to find that Miss Scandrett
knew so much about her, an amazement that increased,
when she discovered that Miss Scandrett knew about every-
body. She memorized the names and history of every new
girl, Besides working hand-in-hand with Student Govern-
ment, she was in charge of all social activities, was re-
sponsible for the college calendar, previewed all skits and
planned programs, and above all, was counselor, leader and
friend to every student. Her keen perception of character
and her many abilities made her place in the heart of each
Scott girl eternal. The last minutes of this before-classes-
begin preparation period found the entire student body
lined up for registration. Checks were lost, checks were
found, and finally our bothered freshman made her way
slowly into Mr. Tart's office. She soon found she had
nothing to fear in her financial problem, for Mr. Tart,
the treasurer, had her already fixed up, her name checked
off. and she was soon thanking him and Miss Cook, his
secretary, and peacefully joining another line, that of the
registrar.

Anxiously awaiting the greeting of Miss Steele, the Direc-
tor of Admissions, and the discovery of just who would
teach what class, each Freshman excitedly questioned about
each teacher that walked down the hall. Each student had
been looking forward to the meeting with Miss Steele, for
all of the detailed correspondence about Scott had come
directly from her. A placement test, if necessary, was
taken in stride with all the other getting-ready procedures.
If she was lucky, the freshman got a glimpse of a few of

her other professors, and found that they actually did look
somewhat like the pictures in last year's Silhouette.
A quick dash to the book store proved to be quite ex-
citing. There, amid ten-pound history books and one-cent
postage stamps, she found Agnes Scott's confidential agent,
Mrs. Garwood.

And then all through the building bells began ringing.
Here it was; college work had begun.

The new kiln of the Agnes Scott Art Depart-
ment has opened the way for the very popular
studio work in enamels and ceramics during
the 19 54-55 college year in addition to the
work in various media already offered. In ad-
dition to studio work, the students are offered
lecture courses covering phases of art from
history to philosophy to psychology. The de-
partment has sponsored several visiting lectures
during the year and has presented in its gal-
leries collections such as a group of Frasconi
woodcuts, and the International Business Ma-
chines collection of modern paintings.

The Bible Department

worked to introduce students
to the methods of studying
the Bible to broaden knowl-
edge, enrich appreciation, and
deepen devotion. Because the
Bible had such a breadth of
scope, the department felt a
unique responsibility to dem-
onstrate the relationships be-
tween Bible study and the of-
ferings of other departments.
Dr. Garber was a representa-
tive to the World Council of
Churches in the summer of
1954. C. Benton Kline, as-
sistant professor, was on leave
during the 19 54-55 school
year.

Dr. Henry H. Rowley, fa-
mous British Old Testament
scholar, was brought to the
campus under the auspices of
the University Center. His
topic was "The Unity of the
Bible."

The Bible Club, sponsored
by the Bible department, was
a student organization with
the Bible professors as ad-
visors. The meetings, held
on Tuesdays at five, were
busmcss and inspirational,
often with student-led discus-
sions or talks. Callie Mc-
Arthur Robinson was presi-
dent of the group.

Salyerds, Assistant in Biology; Mis
Assistant Professor of Biology.

The aim of the Biology Department was to acquaint the
students with the Hving world and to give them a greater
understanding of its operation.

The staff was engaged in research most of the time.
Miss Bridgman worked on Protozoa "every spare minute
I had." Dr. Roberts, with a grant from the University
Center, purchased a special microscope for use in his re-
search on substances in plant cells. Miss Salyerds had just
completed work for her master's degree and Miss Grose-
close working on her doctorate.

The members of our Chemistry Department are actively
concerned with up-to-date methods and the practical as-
pect of their subject as well as with the study of chemical
theories. Dr. Frierson is engaged in research on paper par-

tition chromotography. a method of analyzing chemical
substances that make possible the separation and detection
of microscopic amounts of elements.

The specialized classes saw the subjects they studied applied
as they visited such place as the Kraft Food Company and
the State Crime Laboratory.

Many a strange story is told by the chemistry students.
It seems there is a still in operation in Campbell Science
Hall, and Dr. Frierson hammered nails into the wall with
frozen bananas during a graphic demonstration of the
properties of dry ice. Miss Crigler's organic classes recall
the fruit salad they made when in their experiment on
esters they tasted fruit to discover its composition.

The Classics Department of Agnes Scott, headed by Miss
Kathryn Glick not only introduces students to some of the
world's oldest and greatest literature in the original form
of Greek or Latin, but also ofFers historical appreciation
courses in English for those without a language back-
ground. Students of the classics department are concerned
with the poetry, philosoph)', and drama of the ancients

and with the influence of classical thought on the modern
world. The department sponsors Eta Sigma Phi, classic
fraternity which during bi-weekly meetings at the home
of Miss Glick during the 19 54-5 J school year has studied
stories from Greek mythology and Ovid's Mcfmiwrphosis.
Each member of the fraternity was called upon by the
president, Bettie Forte, to lead at least one discussion.

Agnes Scott's Economics and Sociology Department

strives to achieve two main goals within the student's col-
lege and future life. First, the department seeks to help the
student, through the study of sociology and economics, to
understand the complex pattern of interrelationships in the
world of which she is a part. Each student becomes con-
scious of her individual obligation to live in the world with
understanding. In achieving within the student this respon-
sibility toward the community the department also fulfills
its second desire. The realization that most women today
earn a living shows the student that a training in economics
and sociology opens up a variety of job opportunities.

B. O. Z. (the meaning of these initials is held to be
a secret known only to members) was the upper class,
creative prose writing club. There were eleven members
this year with Jean Gregory as president. The number
was kept small in order that each member might read
one of her works at least once a quarter. Members con-
structively criticized each other's writing. Meetings, held
at the home of Miss Preston, were informal and enjoyable.
There was usually plenty of good food and a big fire to
lend a cozy atmosphere.

The English Department was a basic and a popular
branch of the college. Freshmen, through work in their
English courses, increased their ability to write and think
clearly. Gaining an appreciation for good literature, many
students went on to take advanced English courses. There
were a large number of English majors and students doing
independent study on subjects ranging from the writing
of T. S. Eliot to that of William Faulkner. Dr. Hayes
played in "The Skin of Our Teeth." Miss Leyburn last
year worked in California on Swift.

The speech classes played an active part in college life.
A speech choir, which met twice a week for choral reading,
was organized in the elementary classes. In chapel a few
weeks before Christmas speech students presented the story
of the birth of Christ, under the direction of Miss Roberta
Winter and Miss Julianne Hale.

The French, Spanish and German Departments en-
deavor to help students gain the ability to read foreign
literature with enjoyment and to speak foreign languages
fluently. Through speaking English as little as possible
in class discussions and through regular oral practices
teachers emphasize oral proficiency. In the literature
courses students learn to appreciate all that is fine and
artistic of the French, Spanish, and German authors.
The French Club is a very enjoyable part of the French
department. At the first meeting this year, held at the
home of Miss Phythian, the old students presented a num-
ber of short plays. Later in the year members saw a French
movie and heard a program of French music. At Christmas
time they joined the other language clubs in singing

foreign carols during the Sunday evening party in the Hub.

The visit of Senora Maria Ortegas was a high point in the

activities of the Spanish department and Spanish Club

this year. Having made a study of Sou.h American folk

music, she sang a variety of Mexican songs in chapel and

accompanied herself on the guitar.

Her visit was one of many ways in which the Spanish

department promoted a better understanding of South

America among the students.

Miss Harn entertained the German students at her house

several times during the year.

At her Christmas party students joined in singing carols.

Miss Harn showed them her quaint wood carvings of the

Nativity scene.

The French Club gathered at Miss
Phythian's for a Christmas play.

The 19 54-55 college year was marked m the History and
Political Science Department by the return to the
campus of Professor Walter Brownlow Posey who had
been teaching abroad during the past year, the appoint-
ment of Dr. Catherine Sims to the chairmanship of the
committee to select Fulbright scholars for the United
Kingdom, and the granting to Miss Margaret Deschamps
of a Fellowship from the Board of Christian Education of
the Presbyterian Church for post-doctoral work in Scot-
land. Under the instruction of Mr. Posey, Mrs. Sims, Miss
DesChamps and Miss Florence Smith, students followed
courses of study including all phases of present and past
national and world events. The aim of the history and
political science department is the enlightenment of the
student as a conscientious citizen, with a background of
the past for a more comprehensive interpretation of issues
today. Pertinent outside reading is encouraged by the
department and clear interpretation in addition to knowl-
edge of facts.

The national honorary science fraternity, Chi Beta Phi,
had a chapter (Alpha Sigma) at Agnes Scott. Members
were elected from among majors in all the sciences and
were initiated at a formal banquet in the fall. The club
met every other Thursday, with business and/or a speaker
as the program. If there was a speaker, the meeting was
held at night and the campus community was invited to
hear the visiting scientist. In the spring the members
paused in their observations for a picnic (and probably
classified every butterfly and cloud formation they met.)

The nini of the Music Department was to do what could
be done within the framework of the bachelor of arts
degree to provide students with the means of understanding
music as a hterature and as a part of the cultural heritage
of our civilization and to provide individual instruction,
of as high quality as possible, in voice and instruments.
Mr. McDowell presented a concert on the new grand piano
in the fall. Several members of the staff gave recitals. The
Glee Club gave several programs throughout the year and
during the year the majors gave recitals.
Mr. Kline was working on a doctorate at Yale during the
year so that he might be elevated to head of the depart-
ment at his return. The aims of the Department of
Philosophy were to acquaint the student with persons and
movements in the history of reflective thinking and to
stimulate and guide the student in her own effort to "see
life steadily and see it whole." (Matthew Arnold).

The activities of the Department of Physical Education

were an integral part of the educational offerings of the
college. The unique contribution of the department was
through physical activity, resulting in the student's acqui-
sition of physical and social skills, good health behavior
patterns, and the development of leadership. This year a
new course, tumbling, was added. The hygiene lectures
were discontinued. Plans were ulkIo for new gym outfits
to be purchased by each student next year. ~

The Psychology and Education Department has as its

aim the basic understr.n<iing of the principles of psychology
and their apphcation in the field of education. Because the
interest in teaching has mushroomed, this year has been
the last time the department will be combined. Dr. Samuel
Guerry Stukes will continue as Professor of Psychology and
Dr. Richard L. Henderson will become Professor of Edu-
cation. Highlights of the year were the continuation of
the testing program which serves the campus and sur-
rounding schools; and the presentation of a lecture by
Wolfgang Koehler, research professor of psychology and
philosophy at Swathmore.

Th; Astronomy Department was more strongly empha-
sized than was the Physics Department, both of which
were under Dr. William A. Calder. Dr. Calder did not
carry on research at the Bradley Observatory because he
felt it was more important to keep the Observatory avail-
able to students. The large groups found there on open
nights were evidence of the community's appreciation of
their unusual opportunity to gaze and learn, for there
were large numbers of Agnes Scotters, public school chil-
dren, and the general public. In April the Observatory,
which is the home of the Atlanta Astronomical Club,
played host to the Southeastern States Convention of the
Astronomical League.

Miss Katharine Omwake, Associate
Professor of Psychology, and Miss
Emily Dexter, Associate Professor of
Philosophy and Education.

ingly important one, consisted of Dr.

How well we remember our first days as Freshmen! In
the family car which was bulging with suitcases and books
and garment bags, the new typewriter, the favorite tennis
racket, and the box of odds and ends (trunk space ran
out), we arrived in front of Main, one by one. "Which
one of those girls on the front steps is my Junior sponsor?"

we all wondered. Then, having found or been found
by our sponsors, we had registration and interviews to
go through, roommates to meet, settling down to do. The
get-acquainted-with-Agnes Scott parties started imme-
diately.

They said it was a Happy Birthday-type party. We Freshmen
(sounded good, didn't it? "We Freshmen"!) found that it was
our birthday, our first at Agnes Scott, planned especially to
help us get acquainted with each other. So we did. See anyone
you know?

Everyone seemed to want to make us welcome- literally;
but even the fiftieth time we heard the word in a speech
during that first week we didn't mind, because we knew
it was sincere. Everyone seemed also to want to give us

a party. Maybe some of us even thought we'd come to a
party-school (we got over that thought before Thanks-
giving). The name tags red pennants for the Class of
'5 8 were hard to remember to wear but they were a big
help in our learning to know which names fit which faces.

"Captain Hook" Alston and "First Mate" McCain, lined up for
inspection, enjoyed Christian Association's Peter Pan Party for
the Freshmen as much as we did.

Some of the newly inducted braves with some of the ruling
tribal chiefs, at the Sophomore real, genuine, honest-Indian
Pow-Wow for the Freshmen here are Al, Carl, Lib, Anne,
Dennis the Menace, Margie, Penny, Mary, and Sis.

It was almost impossible, from the Freshman point of view,
to pick our own classmates f.om the crowd. Everybody
looked so mature! Of course, there were some who looked
as bewildered as we felt and we figured they were Fresh-

men too, and some who looked really old and we figured
they were Seniors, and some who just looked at home
and we put them in the vague classification of Upper-
classmen.

Feeling dressed up and very much like Freshmen, we met tl
faculty at the reception in Rebekah. We forgot half the
names, but not their smiles or their warmth.

Although some of them fooled us, most of the faculty and
staff were easy to spot. Finding some old Silhouettes
lying around at strategic spots, we boned up on doctorates
and departments. We began to be very impressed, but not

only with their learning. We found them to be distinct
personalities. It was like moving into a new neighborhood,
a very select neighborhood.

Becoming familiar with the campus itself was another part
of beginning to belong. Some of the upperclassmcn con-
fided they still can not name the cottages in order. Our
Junior sponsor took us on our first shopping trip into

Decatur, answering a hundred questions as she showed us
around. On the first shopping trip in Atlanta, we were
almost too baffled by Rich's to know which questions we
wanted to ask.

Everyone had told us "Wait until Black Cat Day!" when
we said we wanted to do something as a class. Our first
official election saw Lib Geiger chosen Freshman Black

Cat Chairman. We really learned a lot about the poten-
tialities of Our Class as we worked on songs and cheers
end the talent show.

It was good to begin to get into things. We were used to
engagement books full of extra-curricuiars back in high
school. We wanted to get into the stream of activities
again. We found, however, that the college level of work
left us limited club-time and that we had therefore been
gently pointed to the activities especially designed for the
Freshman schedule.

"Agnes Scoff we deem yon the best in the land.
We'll always strife for the things for which yon stand.
When school is over and we're far away.
We'll think about you a part of each day.

Before the first quarter was up we had begun to think of
our new friends, not as from Georgia, from Florida, or
from North Carolina or Connecticut or Virginia, but of
Agnes Scott. We were newest at the game, latest getting
papers written, most often getting homesick, but we liked
this idea, becoming more and more an actuality, of being
college women.

Agnes Scoff ue met you, and right from the start
You stole a place in each one of our hearts.
Agnes Scott ive love you and want you to know:
We'll remember you."

Connie Curry and Jo Ann Hall had a busy year leading
the activities of the Executive Committee of Student
Government, for Connie was President and Jo Ann,
Vice-President and Judicial Chairman of this important
organization. Exec, as it is known on campus, functions
as a legislative, executive, and judicial body. One well
known phase of its work is the weekly trial of students
who have broken certain rules. This year in order that
it might be better understood how this is done, a meeting
of Exec, at which actual cases were judged, was held in
chapel. As is true at all Exec trials, numbers of cases
were used Instead of names of the students. In order to

carry out its other duties more efficiently. Exec is divided
into a number of committees such as the committee for
studying and proposing new rules, the handbook commit-
tee, and the school spirit committee. This year the rules
committee experimented with different methods of count-
ing social engagements so that students might have leeway
in scheduling their dates. Freshmen were very pleased by
the decision of Exec in regard to double dating with mem-
bers of their own class during the winter quarter. Projects
of the other committees were also well received. Hey Day
was the work of the spirit committeee.

g Honor Emphasis Week
vited to write thei]

think about the

Honor Emphasis Week in the fall gave new stu-
dents a chance to learn the meaning of the honor system
and uppercLissmen an opportunity to reconsider their place
in it. Copies of Dr. Alston's interpretation of the honor
system were distributed at the beginning of the week.
After students had had an opportunity to read and think
about it, discussions of the honor system were held at hall
prayers. In an impressive ceremony in chapel freshmen
signed the honor system pledge book, and upper classmen
took the new pledge.

Agnes Scott is rightly proud of the students on the Honor
Roll. They reflect the first ideal of the college, that of
high intellectual attainment. However, we believe these
girls exemplify the other three standards, including, as
their smiles show, that last ""indefinable" ideal.
The Chairman of Low^er House was Sarah Davis, a
familiar sight in chapel where she announced such Lower
House projects as the concert ticket exchange. Other
members of Lower House might be recognized as the
harried-looking girls craning their necks in house meetings
as they tried to see if everyone from their wing of the hall
was present. These were also the girls mercilessly cross-
examined about the dates of coming fire drills. A large
number of successful projects were executed by them this
year. As a part of the ticket exchange program, surplus
tickets were given to children in a nearby orphanage. The
notepads on our doors were placed there by Lower House.
Members ran the snack bar in the Hub and the second-
hand book store. Students received a decided shock in
chapel one day when a girl arose to announce that Lower
House had purchased several thousand uniforms, purple,
and adjustable to fit 90% of all sizes. However, it soon
appeared these uniforms designed "to stop messy appear-
ances on campus" were merely book jackets and very smart
ones at that.

to realize my social and academic responsibility in the

this Honor System as my way of life."

In the fall of 1954 Agnes Scott became movieland. 20th
Century Fox moved in with all their equipment lights,
cameras, action, and Jean Peters and Richard Todd. Classes
were interrupted and books were forgotten while the
cameras ground for a few scenes of A Man Called Peter.
The background was made up of Agnes Scott girls wear-
ing bright colors on the tennis court or the hocky field,
coming from the library, on the quadrangle with Jean
Peters, or riding in a 193 6 car. Behind this production was
a man called Sam Engle, who kept everyone in their proper
place from lighting expert to Jean Peters to Agnes Scott.
We decided to ask Mr. Engel, a man who spends his life
working with beautiful girls, to select the beauty queens
for the 19 5 5 Silhouette. He was more than gracious.

Richard Todd, seeming to be perfectly unconcerned by the com-
bined stares of scores of Agnes Scott girls and Decatur towns-
folk, discusses the next scene of A Man Called Peter with the
director, on the hockey field.

It was October and Agnes Scott was Black Cat crazy.
For days the campus had been busy painting sets, making
costumes, practicing skits, writing songs for the competi-
tion and getting in tune. At last the great day arrived.
Hottentots picnicked on the hockey field with many mem-

bers of the faculty and staff, then hurried to the gym
where each of the classes sang the songs written for the
occasion. From the greenest freshman to the wisest senior
everyone fell under the spell of Vee Williamson's capti-
vating kitty. Great was the consternation when the cat

in question announced to a gathering of feline alumnae
(the Black Cat chorus) that Agnes Scott was not her dish
of milk. Frosh held on to their red and white streamers,
and seniors stopped congratulating themselves on vocal
ability; juniors forgot all about Pogo for a moment, and
not a word was heard from the section that was usually
singing "Sophomores, that's us." Everyone was intent on
the travels of Sheila and the Kitty to places such as Paris,
the North Pole, and the Ali Kat Academy. Where would
the Black Cat decide to stay? Great was the rejoicing
among cat alumnae and all the other Agnes Scotians when
the black kitty decided that no where in the world could
be found a better home for a feline than Decatur and
Agnes Scott. The chorus serenaded the returned celebrity
with her own song "Captivating Kitty." Everyone was
happy again, and even sophomores and juniors applauded
when the seniors were announced as winners of the song
contest and the freshmen were presented the traditional
stuffed black cat for Inman labby. The whole campus
joined in "whooping it up at Agnes Scott."

Baloney and her Seven Tails enlivened Ali Kat's Academy for
the Sophomores.

The Senior skit*s Cooking Academy in "Paris" was complete with
mustachioed, accented instructor and w^ant-ad for a messcat.

Hockey season was off to a roaring start as sunburned and
sore athletes determined to participate in outdoor sports
until the summers sun bade its last farewell. Manager
Sheila MacConochie announced a shortened schedule which
mcnt that competition was at its keenest during every
Friday afternoon game. Mary Alice Kemp, class manager
for the Seniors, hoped that her team would show its usual
top spirit to defeat the defending champions of last year,
the Juniors, under the management of Barbara Battle.

Spirit was high at the annual Swimming Meet, b
eased and laugh provoked at the sight of this comic relay. The
Sophomores surged forward to clinch the meet, while the Juniors
pressed close behind.

The Sophomore challengers, managed by Helen Hendry
showed marked improvement in teamwork, and Jo Sawyer's
Freshman team displayed quantities of quality in hockey
talent. Experience and consistent top-notch performance
paid off as the Senior team rolled on to victory. The con-
test between the best twenty-two was one of the most
exciting; at the end of the game the Varsity and Sub-
Varsity was announced and Jo Sawyer won the medal for
fair play and good sportsmanship during the season.

Hockey was not just a players game. A tremendous pep
rally at the beginning of fall quarter put all the spectators
in the mood to yell and cheer and encourage their battling
classmates. Pogo and Dennis the Menace were proudly
acting as class mascots while cheerleaders sang new jingles
above the cry of "Candied Apples for Sale!" The loud-
speaker and jazz music were new to the field, but provided
a festive atmosphere throughout the season. King hockey
was great for everyone.

The organ played wildly, seniors, wearing short dresses and
clutching dolls, dashed down the aisles into chapel, and
streams of water from their pistols arched over the audi-
ence. It was Little Girls' Day, and what a day it was!
Underclassmen were awakened at the unearthly hour of
six fifteen by the patter of little feet in the halls, cries of
"Mama," and streams of cold water in their faces, as
fiendish little girls and even a few little "boys" invaded
the dorms. Breakfast became an ordeal as water pistols
went into action again, and children quarreled over toys.
In fact, as teachers and underclassmen trembled, the seniors
thoroughly enjoyed this last fling before Investiture.

On the following day, November 6, the college com-
munity could hardly believe its eyes as 103 dignified sen-
iors followed the faculty and sophomores into Gaines.
They had exchanged the symbols of their childhood for
their academic robes an outward sign of their new ma-
turity. Their Investiture is second only to June com-
mencement, and as the seniors knelt on the traditional
cushion and were capped by Miss Scandrett, they became
aware of their new dignity and responsibility.
Joined by their friends and families, the Class of '5 5 lis-
tened to the address of Dr. Catherine Strateman Sims as
she spoke on the placement of education in leadership after
college. Investiture was ended with the group's worship-
ping together on Sunday morning, at which time they
heard Dr. Wade H. Boggs' inspiring address, "Constrain-
ing Love."

with busy signs and Christmas seals. Both exams and
Christinas were in the air, and we divided our time be-
tween celebrating and studying. The Hub and Main were
festively decorated and the whole community was feted
at a Christmas party at the Grill. Later, the day students
sponsored the making of decorations for hospital Christmas
trees, and the sewing room was ankle-deep in brightly col-
ored paper. Atlanta's inevitable rainy winter put an end
to C.A.'s Sunday morning caroling, but that night every-
one gathered in the Hub to sing favorite carols of America
and other lands. This "party" air even carried over into
exam week. After each afternoon exam, students unleashed
their frustrations as they met everybody in the Hub to
talk and eat the D.O.'s terrific punch and cookies. Every-
one was tired of exams and blue books, but were well-fed
and gay-spirited as the quarter came to an end.

and M.iry joined
rol sing and party.

Pi Alpha Phi, honorary debating society, had an eventful
and successful year, of which the high point was the
Azalea Tournament belt at Spring Hill College in Mobile.
There they won first place defeating eleven teams includ-
ing those from Notre Dame, Kentucky and Florida State.
It was the second successive year Agnes Scott received the
trophy. During November members of Pi Alpha Phi par-
ticipated in a discussion tournament at the University of
Alabama. Agnes Scott took second place at the West
Georgia tournament in February. In January the college
was host to the Eighth Annual All-Southern Debate Tour-
nament, and in March our team competed in the regional
tournament at Emory. A debate squad was inaugurated
this year. Joanne Miklas and Jean Gregory formed the
affirmative team, and Sallie Greenfield and Gracie Greer,
the negative. Also for the first time, a spring training
program was held to help new debaters learn debate pro-
cedures and the art of developing a debate topic.

January 14, 195 5, was the annual Suppressed Desires
Day ar Agnes Scott. To participate each student paid for
a badge one dollar which went to the Junior Jaunt fund.
This badge permitted the students to wear pants from
blue jeans to Bermuda shorts, to call teachers by their
first names, to eat in the faculty dining room, to ring
fire bells and shout in the library, and to ride in the ele-
vator in Buttrick. Boys from Davidson and even Emory,
who were on campus to debate, were surprised to see Agnes
Scott so radical. Chapel was yes, chapel was hilarious
with Dr. Posey as the speaker. Students sat on the floor,
on the stage, on the organ, and threw peanuts, pennies, and
eggs at him, played the organ, and stood on their hands,
while Dr. Posey amused them with his collection of jokes.
Some teachers tried to teach that day; some also unsup-
pressed their desires.

Spring quarter saw the juniors being spoken of as "next
year's seniors" and being elected to the school offices that
only seniors could hold. Juniors taking stock of things
decided that "Quality not Quantity" had been an excellent
motto, and the rest of the school agreed.

The Lecture Association brought Ruth Draper, Robert
Frost, H,u-low Shaplcy and Ronald J. McKinney to Agnes
Scott.

In the fall Ruth Draper presented a program of mono-
logues. Students will long remember the sight of her as
a middle-aged, bespectacled lady showing a little girl
through an art gallery. Her remarks as she tried to in-
terpret the modern paintings were in the vein of one to
the effect that the artist must have set on his pallet and
then on the canvas. Enjoyable in a different manner was
her deeply moving portrayal of a French woman whose
husband was leaving to fight in World War II.
The visit of Robert Frost, long-time friend of Agnes Scott,
was an event anticipated with pleasure. While he was on

the campus he was very active. One evening he delivered
a delightful lecture during which he read and commented
on several of his poems, including such favorites as "Mend-
ing Walls" and "Birches." In a short afternoon meeting
he talked about poetry with members of the freshmen
class. The English faculty and English majors had an op-
portunity to chat with him at a dinner held in his honor.
In March Ronald J. McKinney lectured on the "Artist in
America." He was well qualified to present this subject
as he has had wide experience as a museum director, artist,
educator, and author, and students were stimulated by his
talk. Harlow Shapley, noted Harvard astronomer, returned
to Agnes Scott on command performance in April.

Lecture Association consisted of:
Caroline Cutts, Chairman; Miss
Mildred Mell, Faculty Chair-
man; Susan Coltrane, Polly Mor-
gan, Lib Grafton, Mary Kinman,
Martha Lee Bridges, Beverly
Watson, Dee Walton.

Dance Group, under the direction of Miss Dozier, chair-
man Judy McDaniel, and co-chairman Louisa Allen, blos-
somed out on stage during Winter Quarter in their presen-
tation, "The Three Cornered Hat" by De Falla, an 18th
century comedy in dance. The campus particularly ad-
mired the excellent original choreography, the unusual
scenery, and the fiery Spanish dances every one has heard
about: the Fandango, Tarruea, and the Jato.
The young ladies of the dance group also helped out in
May Day during spring quarter. Tryouts are held in
winter quarter, and selections are made from the entire
student body. This group has filled a place of admiration
and respect among a community that respects hard work
and talent.

Christian Association, one of the major campus organi-
zations, strove to help each student deepen her own per-
sonal faith and to make the Christian message relevant
to all areas of life, both personal and social. The C.A.
theme for the year came from Micah 6:6 "With what

shall I come before the Lord?" The student co-ordinators
of C.A. activities were in two groups, the C.A. Cabinet
and the Community Service Council for off-campus
projects.

The plans for Religious Emphasis Week had their initia-
tion many months before February 14-18, 19 5 5. Harriet
Hampton headed Christian Association's R. E. Week com-
mittee. At the pre-school retreat plans became more defi-
nite and by the beginning of winter quarter they were
ready for the speaker's approval.

The speaker, who had been invited by Dr. Alston the
previous spring, was Dr. John Newton Thomas, the Robert
L. Dabney Professor of Systematic Theology at Union
Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Thomas
spoke four times in chapel on the topics "No Other Gods,"
"Heaven and Hell," "Who is Obedient?" and "The Re-
covery of Heaven." He spoke to '5 8 Club, met with the
C.A. Cabinet, held personal conferences, met with the
faculty, Bible Club, and day students, and led free-for-all
discussions in the Hub. His high scholarship and deep
personal faith stirred many to questions and to deep
thinking. i'?!;

C.A. was the group that planned the campus community's
many religious activities, including C.A. chapel on Tues-
days, Religious Emphasis Week, Sunday Vespers, Hall
Prayers, Holy Week, World Student Day of Prayer,
Faculty Vespers, off -campus service projects, '58 Club for
freshmen, and various parties. It was C.A. who sponsored
a deputation to the campus from the Assembly's Training
School of the Presbyterian Church, U.S. C.A. redecorated
its rooms in the Hub this year, and it was C.A., who,
through worship, study, and action, made the life of Agnes
Scott richer and more purposeful.

Basketball fever rose rapidly as class managers, Mickey
Scott, May Muse, Ryland Swain, and Jo Sawyer, organized
the hoards of available ability. A. A. Manager, Margie
DeFord, announced a new schedule to include both "A"
and "B" team games in order that everyone would be able
to participate. After a scant two weeks of concentrated
practicing the season got off to a rapid and surprisingly
skilled start. All those girls were good! However, settling
to their usual championship form the Junior team out-
scored and defeated all comers.

Perhaps the largest attendance crowd was seen at the Pep
Rally and Suppressed Desires Game which bordered closely
upon an unsuppressed riot. Varsity games against La-
Grange College and the Atlanta Division of the University
of Georgia were outstanding events in the basketball season.
Louisa Allen won top scoring honors, while Martha Meyer,
famed for fast and furious dribbling, was awarded the
Sportsmanship Medal as the season drew to a close. We
were sorry to have to quit, but Softball was looming upon
the near horizon.

At the Convocation before tlie Thanksgiving hohdays it
was announced that the college had been remembered in
the wills of two friends of long standing. Dr. Mary Frances
Sweet, for many years college physician and then college

physici.in emeritus, left her entire estate, consisting of ap-
proximately fifty thousand dollars, to Agnes Scott. The
bequest will be used for endowment and will be allocated
to the health program. Mrs. Frances Winship Walters, an

to be thankful, both for the friends who gave them and
for the institution that inspired such loyal Interest.

Behind the active and smoothly functioning sports pro-
gram at Agnes Scott were a group of girls who compose
the Athletic Association. This board of executives and
managers organized and directed our athletic recreation on
campus. By promoting individual as well as team sports,
each girl was given an opportunity to participate in indoor
and outdoor extra-curricular activities.

The Association also sponsored such projects as a square
dance for the freshmen, athletic calendars, college blazers
and sweat shirts, and it was always endeavoring to widen
and vary our scope of sports. This year representatives were
sent to both the State and National Women's Athletic As-
sociations Conventions where ASC participated in a hockey
demonstration and a panel discussion of the problems and
duties of Athletic Associations.

An exciting Ping Pong Tournament drew crowds of
spectators, and in the last round Mary Edna Clark de-
feated Nancy Burkitt for the championship. Manager Patty
Hamilton was more than pleased with the excellent partici-
pation and keen interest shown in the matches.
Spring was surely just around the corner as long dormant
athletes began budding on the field in pastel costumes!
Archery, an old favorite, was first to return to the campus
with the Sophomores taking the class championship and
the individual competition seeing Sis Burns, B. C. Regen,
Clif Trussell, and Mollie Merrick winning the first four
places. Cake shoots and Grab Bag Contests were added
enticements to the more bashful archers who soon swarmed
the field.

Another familiar sight around campus was those Bicycle
speed demons, our roaming athletes. Why, some even had
the nerve and energy to bike all the way to Stone Moun-
tain for a picnic lunch and a wade in the creek!
Other aquatic-minded sportsers headed for Venetian pool
and an early tan; our balcony porches were constantly full
of swim-suit clad beauties becoming shades redder or
darker.

A new type game, Hallball, presented Softball with some
competition, ,ind Fencing was again trying to find a will-
ing promoter.

Riding Club continued with more enthusiasm and bigger
plans than ever. Golf-talk prevailed in some circles on
campus and plans were made to form a varsity team of
four. A Rifle Team was selected from among the girls
who went regularly to the range at Decatur High School
to practice shooting and was expected to rate well in com-
petition against other schools.

Perhaps the most memorable and most enjoyable phases of
outdoor life last quarter were the only early morning
and after supper hikes through the gorgeous gardens and
along the dogwood-bordered streets near our campus.

ised good teams and stiff competition. Everyone, including
spectators, was in for a wonderful time.

tions for admittance to Spring classes. A newcomer to our
curriculum, riflery took a strong grip on our interest and
turned out ardent and accurate performers. Lois Moore,
Alvia Cook, Joanne Smith T, Mary Edna Clark, and Mary
Kathryn Cole showed us how it was done.

A.S.C.'s faculty was a versatile group. As customary each
year, they forsook traditional book assignments to teach
their students a lesson in diamond-rounding, better known
as Softball. Lead by the indomitable G. P. "Slushball"
Hayes, the older generation had established a winning
streak which dated farther back than the youngsters wished
to remember. The game had a sort of "suppressed de-
sires" flavor all its own with many inhibitions escaping in
most unexpected manners of dress and play. Indeed, it's
hard to tell which had the most fun player or spectator.

Tumbling is the sport most recently added to the program
of the athletic department. Climaxing a quarter of hard
work, sore muscles, skinned knees, and over-all enjoyment,
this year's tumbling class presented an exhibition in the
gymnasium. Included in the program were forward rolls
and dives, headstands, handstands, and handsprings. A
feature attraction was the balancing act, which demon-
strated the knee-shoulder stand, the shoulder stand, the
headsiand-balance, the "flying angel" and an elaborate
pyramid. All stunts were effectively performed to a back-
ground of music, and the exhibition drew enthusiastic re-
sponse from a capacity crowd.

Tennis Club celebrated its second birthday this spring,
having firmly established itself in the Agnes Scott Athletic
Department. Its members were outstanding in matches
scheduled against Georgia State College for Woman and
Wesleyan College, and to enter the ranks of the top ten
became a campus-wide challenge.

AA manager, Carolyn Herman, was in charge of the sin-
gles and doubles tournaments and the tennis ladder com-
petition for membership in the Tennis Ten.
At times our courts looked as if they belonged to a co-ed
school dates galore! Tennis was a popular pastime this
spring.

In the finals of the singles tourney Carolyn Herman was defeated
by Sis Burns, champ for two years now. These girls and Anna
Avil were especially appreciated by the physical education de-
partment for helping to teach the extra tennis classes neces-
sitated by the large number of people desiring to learn to play.

The Purpose of I. R. C. was to bring the campus into a
more intimate relationship with the rest of the world
to be familiar with the important and higher influential
scope of international affairs, affairs that affect our think-
ing, our daily Hving; but most importantly, our rights and
our liberties. It hoped to make the student body well in-
formed and provide a working knowledge of international
affairs and their social, political, and economic effects.

In sponsoring the first News Emphasis Week at Agnes
Scott I. R. C. hoped to set up a tradition that will cause

tional affairs and their relationship to us as a nation. Mary
Dickinson was crowned Miss Newsweek with Betty Mc-

Within the mirror that hangs back-stage we see the reflec-
tion of the theater in Agnes Scott's drama club. Black-
friars was the oldest and one of the most active clubs on
campus. Each year it presented to the campus two full
plays and three one-act plays. The full act plays this year
were; "The Skin of Our Teeth," given in the Fall, and
"Twelfth Night," given in the Spring. The "Skin of Our
Teeth" was a delightful experiment. It was one of the
first presentational plays given by the club. It was dif-

ferent from the usual representational play because the ac-
tion was directed toward the audience, the audience was
spoken to, and took an active part in the play. Although
many students and visitors were surprised by the sudden
running up and down the aisle, the whole of the audience
joined in the spirit and enjoyed themselves. The whole
campus is anxiously awaiting another such play.
The Spring play was presented outdoors on the infirmary
steps, a modified arena production with afternoon and eve-

The make-up committee, including Tritt

ning performances. Only the smallest amount of scenery
was used, to present the desired effect. The costumes were
colorful and effective. In the Winter quarter, the club
presented "Twelve Pound Look" by James Barrie, "House
of Jube" by Valentine Davies, and a club member's original
drama written in the playwriting class. These one-act
plays were all student directed and studio productions. The
emphasis was more on acting and less on the technical and
physical sides which were concentrated on in the two long
plays. Costumes and scenery were not emphasized.
Besides their productions, the club held meetings twice a
month and board meetings once a month. At the regular
meetings they had reading like that of the "Half-Pint
Prima Donna," written in the playwriting class by a mem-
ber, and an evening of dramatic readings by Miss Hale
and Mrs. John Heard. The club also sponsored the Emory
Druids, which brought to the campus "Under Milk Wood"
by Dillon Thomas. The club's tryouts were held in the
Fall and Spring quarter by both technical and acting ap-
plications. Tryouts consisted of groups acting out scenes
from one-act plays that the club had chosen for them.
The club has been a complete success, for it has realized
that only equality before and behind the scenes can pro-
duce a play worthy of acclamation.

A Mountain May Day complete with hillbillies and witches
danced with equal ease by Agnes Scottians entertained the
college community and many visitors with the story of a
mountain hunter who married a witch. Seniors, juniors,
sophomores, freshmen, musicians, dancers, artists all took
part in presenting Agnes Scott with a May Day never to
be forgotten. JoAnn Hall reigned over the May Court as
Scotties gathered in the dell to see the Granny Woman and

her companions attempt to draw Melissa back to her life as
a witch. The preacher, the forest spirits, and Melissa's love
defeated the forces of evil at last and the audience was
impressed by the talents of the performers and scenario
author as it was by the beauty of the May Court. Colorful
costumes, ballad music, college beauties, even the blessings
of the weatherman nothing was missing from a Moun-
tain May Day at Agnes Scott.

Dcr Rural Mur.il with lyrics by Curry and music by Bizet,
Gounod, Puccini, Verdi, Sullivan, and Strauss was the cul-
tural event of the Agnes Scott season. Music loving seniors,
members of Die Meistersenior Opera Company, gave lower
classmen and visitors a taste of the "better things in life"
as it presented such greats in the music world as the noted
tenor JoAnn Hall and the outstanding operatic bass, Con-
nie Curry. Carolyn Crawford's Hilda, a flirt, and Susan Col-
trane's heroine were admitted standouts in Atlanta's musical
life as were the performances of Captain Sally Legg and
Herr Karl Von Schmidt alias Jeanne Levie. This was the
first production of the opera in the Atlanta area and the
tender love story of Hans and the flower vendor was widely
acclaimed by local critics.

did a great job of pinch-hitting for Carolyn, as the "Girls"
do the lovely "Flower Song" in front of the good old eight-

The purposes of the Agnes Scott News were to serve the
students, to keep a record of the activities of the campus,
and to serve the interests of faculty, administration, and
alumnae. The Ne'ws was entirely a student publication.
The staff gathered in their pink-walled room in the Hub
everv Monday night. Every student had a copy of the
paper in her P. O. box on Wednesday.

The Aurora was "a literary magazine for student expres-
sion" that came out three times a year. The Aurora gave
everybody who was interested in writing a chance to do so
and to be recognized. It let the campus know what writ-
ing was being done by the students and provided a means
of sharpening our critical judgment as well.

The annual room, where the Silhouette staff worked, was
pink-wallcd too, although there wasn't leisure to pay
much attention to the color. The 195 5 Silhouette had
its beginnings in the page sequence worked out by the staff,
determining the order of subject matter. The art staff
worked on getting the plan in shape for the engraver,
whose artists drew up the dummy from which the staff
worked as the annual took shape. The individual class pic-

tures were made fall quarter. Pictures of "current events"
were shot throughout the year. Advertisements were sold.
The copy staff fitted words around our ideas for this an-
nual. Staff members and their associates worked together
or separately, but constantly. The final pages were sent
to print spring quarter. Then we took time to notice
that the walls were pink, and to admire the poster which
explained our work in Buttrick.

In April a formal dance with the theme, ""April in Paris,"
was held. All who attended felt it was a wonderful party.
The class made the daisy chain to decorate the chapel for
the seniors at graduation. Spring Quarter ended with the
sophomores looking toward the next year with strong an-
ticipation, as they ordered their class rmgs.

Looking back over the senior year of the Class of '5 5, it
seems that their year was a busy one, for the Seniors had
their fingers in every pot. Led by Chief Rogers, the tribe
worked and played to make it a wonderful year.

Although the Seniors as a class were not responsible for
Orientation Week, they played an important part by help-
ing the Freshmen get to know the faculty by giving a
Faculty-Freshman Coffee.

Later, amid swirls of crepe paper and wearing beanies
of yellow and black, they stormed into the gym to perform
for the feted kitty. The kitty and audience were deeply
impressed by their original song:

Is it any wonder they won first prize?

The Seniors again came out on top, for they were campus
hockey champs and placed second in raising Junior Jaunt
money. Their hilarious skit "Two Fleas or Not Two Fleas"
netted them first place.

This activity was continued all year. The Seniors spon-
sored the drive for blood donors on campus, and manned
the dry-cleaning booth in the basement of Main. They also
sold Agnes Scott mugs, and then everyone had a catch-all
for paper clips, bobby pins and a place to root botany
experiments.

And so as the Seniors sang to their Alma Mater:

'Each time the leaies turn red in the fall,
The freshuieii come to our hnnaii Hall,
A little unsure of that which they seek.
But oh! Our hearts are filled with dreams.

"Our hearts to thee, we raise in songs of praise
The memories . . . remain through all our days."

so does the campus sing in praise to you, the Class of 195 5.

Aud then there comes those years in betiueen
The shapes of dreams begin to be seen.
Their patterns form, and sloicly they grow,
And oh! Hopes are renewed again.

And then there comes that wonderful date.
The day in fiine tvheii we graduate.
Four years of strength that we've gained from you-
\Vc leaie you.

To nial;e our dreams come true, to make our
dreams come true."

Mortar Board w.is .1 national senior honor society for stu-
dents who were outstanding in leadership, scholarship and
service. Members were chosen from the junior class. The
purposes of the society are "to provide for the cooperation
between senior honorary societies for women, to promote
college loyalty, to advance the spirit of service and fellow-
ship among university women, to maintain a high standard
of scholarship, to recognize and encourage leadership, and
to stimulate and develop a fine type of college women." .-

Mortar Board taps
library followed thi

During the winter quarter members of Mortar Board se-
lected a junior as their president for 195S-S6. Her name
was kept a secret until the traditional tapping ceremony.
At that time Mortar Board members wearing caps and
gowns and carrying lighted candles found Guerry Fain in
the library and told her she was chosen. Then singing the
Mortar Board song, they went with her through the dor-
mitories.

The list of Mortar Board projects was long and varied.
Among their year's activities was the sale of Christmas
cards and calendars and the showing of movies on the
campus Saturday nights. Members distributed and counted
ballots during college elections, and showed visitors around
the campus. After spring quarter elections they conducted
a leadership school for students chosen for offices.

who's Who in American Colleges and Universities? if
you asked that as a question at Agnes Scott in 195 J even
the greenest fieshman or newest transfer could name the
ten outstanding Scottie seniors on the list: Georgia Belle
Christopher, Connie Curry, Pat Hale, Jo Ann Hall, Mary
Evelyn Knight, Alice Nunnally, Louise Robinson, Har-
riet Stovall, Carolyn Wells, and Margaret Willimson.
Their skills ranged from athletics to literature; there were
a number of presidents and a trio of editors among them,
but whatever their fields they all had two words in com-
mond: leadership and service. It was hard to choose from
the senior class the ten seniors who fulfilled these two
criteria to the greatest extent, but the choice was finally
made and Hottentots heard at convocation the announce-
ment of the most outstanding of the outstanding, the
Agnes Scott seniors who were Who's Who.

On March thirty-first. Dr. Ellen Douglas Leyburn, president of the Beta chapter of
Phi Beta Kappa, gave an address on the subject St. Thomas More. After Dr. Ley-
burn's address, Dr. Elizabeth Crigler, secretary of the chapter, read the names of the
twelve girls of the Class of 195 5 honored by election to Phi Beta Kappa. Membership
is based not only on scholarly achievements but also on character and leadership. The
organization originated in 1776; Agnes Scott's chapter was established in 1926. Agnes
Scott was the ninth woman's college to receive this honor.

The last of the last whirl of days of the last
wonderful year is gone. All that remains is a
very fleeting memory of kaleidoscopic experi-
ences and feelings. Class Day, June 3, has passed
with its images of Sophomores and the daisy
chain, of the great flames at bookburning and
of small candlelight at the capping of the Jun-
iors. Likewise, Alumnae Day with the strange-
ness of a new status for ex-students. Baccalau-
reate Sunday, June 5, has set itself down in

our reflections with the memory of worshiping
with the seniors and their parents at a "last"
service led by Dr. Raymond Irving Lindquist of
the Hollywood First Presbyterian Church in Los
Angeles, California. The tea and fellowship
shared in the Library Sunday afternoon among
faculty and parents and seniors is over. Monday,
June 6, Graduation with its very foggy image
of tristful joy and dewy-eyed grins of Dr. E.
Harris Harbison, Professor of History at Prince-

ton University, speaking to faces full of pride
the trepidation with tassels on top wavers
before our mind's eye. It's a short way from
September to June four years later and a very
long time from the Colonnade to Gaines to the
stage to the knee-worn stool, but there is the end
of a happier than hard part of our lives. Di-
ploma and purple-and-white hood bore the
graduates up on their way back. As the Class of
'5 5 one hundred strong takes its leave, its

knowledge, its degree and its memories, it is the
symbol of another year accomplished, a year in
which they capped the Class of '5 6, their suc-
cessors, were marshaled by the Class of '57, their
sisters, and molded impressions for the Class of
'5 8, their sweet ones.

"These things seem small and iindistingiiishable,
Like far-off mountains turned into clouds."
Shakespeare.

"// we shaiiou's haic of ended,
Think but this, and all is mended.
That you hare hut sluinbcr'd here
While these ris/ons did appear.
And this ueiili mid idle theme.
No more yielding but a dream.
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If yon pan/on, we uill mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If U'e hare unearned hnk
Noir to 'scajie tlte serpent's tongue.
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar rail:
So, good night unto you all.
Gire me your hands, if we be fi tends.
And Robin shall restore amends."

Shakespeare.

THE INDEPENDENT COLLEGE

The independent college belongs to those who believe in it. It can
have no other ownership.

It has flourished through the centuries because every generation
raises up people who understand its power for good.

Rooted in this faith, steadfast, humane, the independent college
abides as a citadel of the unfettered mind and spirit.
