"I'd rather be a Hottentot . . ." Well, jeepers I
didn't mean to be singing a solo! I'm Aggie Hottentot
and you're "Scotties" aren't you? I'm getting ready
to give a quick review of the year to a few friends
Caspar the Ghost "59, Droopy '58, Dennis the Menace
'57, and Pogo '56. Since you're my namesakes, why
don't you come too?

The Agnest Scott faculty was tops in my book! Their
outstanding intellectual ability combined with a warm
friendliness and interest in the individual made them
worthy examples of the Agnes Scott ideal of the whole
person. Dennis just reminded me not to leave out the
students. Could be he was hinting for a look at some
pretty girls? He didn't have to look far you saw
'em everywhere! . . . streaming out of Buttrick,
hunched over a library desk, rushing to the mail room,
standing in the cafeteria line, on the tennis courts,
signing out in the L.O. for a date ... or smiling from
the pages of this annual. Where else but at Agnes
Scott could such a unique combination of brains,

worms! Sports and organizations played an important
part in every Scottie's life, and there were activities to
suit the taste of all. There were sports for every
season we even added fencing to the repetoire! and
activities such as dances, plays, lectures, and discussion
kept them busy too.

I do believe Dennis. Pogo, Droopy and Caspar
were convinced about what I've been saying 'cause
listen . . .

"I'd rather be a Hottentot than a multimillionaire;
I'd rather be a Hottentot than sit in the President's
chair.

It's the grandest place you'll ever see

If you don't believe it just come with me,

I'd rather be a Hottentot than a multimillionaire."

beauty, and personality be found! But you'll soon
see for yourself! My namesakes were more than book-

DEDICATION

Our first class with Miss Emma Mae Laney. Professor
of English, was for innumerable students, a year-long
spring. The compelling warmth of her appreciation
for literature and ever new enthusiasm for learning
acted as the sun on the first stirring leaves of our
minds, calling them to make the hard effort to grow
up into a seemingly inexplicable world which would
seem the more understandable and yet the more won-
drous as we attained greater stature from which to
look about us. In every class after that, we rediscov-
ered our minds when Miss Laney would share ideas
with us as on a comparable level, and we became peers
in appreciation or at least, potential peers with an
incentive. She brought home to all of us the pleasure
of learning, the unequaled delight of minds encounter-
ing living ideas. Steering us away from the over-
enthusiastic reading of our own meaning into a work,
she still respected any provable differing interpretations.

But it has been not only English majors and her
particular sophomores who have benefited from Miss
Laney. Her loving loyalty to Agnes Scott has had
many different forms: a deep concern for the college's
spirit of learning, its standards and attitudes. She
was chairman of the A.S. Lecture Association from
1935 until 19.53, and as one of her colleagues stated.
"She served with distinction." Her gracious hospitality
warmly expressed the college's welcome to visiting
speakers such as Lord Cooper. Robert Hutchins. Carl
Sandburg, and Edna St. Vincent Millay. It was largely
due to her efforts that the community first enjoyed

visits from Robert Frost, in 1935-6, then 1939-40, and
annually from 1944. As a result of their own personal
friendship, she has been able to contribute generously
to the Frost Collection in the library. Her integrity as
a scholar is widely admired, and she has kept up pro-
fessional relationships through her membership in the
Modern Language Association and her work with the
Atlanta English Club. Her interest in her own field
has been intense, but not exclusive, and she has been
active in the League of Women Voters, informed and
concerned about political affairs and wanting her stu-
dents to be aware, also.

Her interest in students was not confined to the school
room, and her teas for her classes were always a
pleasure. A charming conversationalist herself, she
inspired good talk from all. and her guests soon re-
laxed, feeling welcomed into good company.

She would have her courses be not guided tours into
new countries, but rather she would teach her students
the language, so that we can travel through them our-
selves, prepared to glean riches which we might have
passed by unseeing, had we not been taught.

Emma May Laney

"Why don't you cut Saturday and go off this week-
end?" "I have Miss Laney." "Oh." This conversation
has been heard more than once in the thirty-five years
Miss Laney has been at Agnes Scott, and is self-
explanatory. After the first bleak hour when our
sophomoric false complacency was jerked out from
under us by a few rapid questions and an, "'It's ob-
vious, you haven't prepared your lesson," we usually
went home and gladly devoted the expected amount of
time and care to class preparation, because we recogn-
ized the fairness and concern for us that was so
integral a part of her teaching. And the next class
would go at the exuberant and demanding tempo that
comes when a teacher gives unstintingly and gladly
of her best and expects and receives a matching quality
of effort from her students.

Her energy and enthusiasm are legendary and con-
tagious, and if we forget the details of the Canterbury
pilgrimage we will remember Chaucer's spirit and
freshness and smile with pleasure ^vhen we see his
name.

. . . THE FACU

Wallace M. Alston

PRESIDENT

What we need within the framework of our democracy
is to discover ways to lay hold upon voung people of
unusual endowment, then to prepare them for the tasks
of our day an aristocracy of intelligence, if you will,
but one that is imbued with a strong sense of social
responsibility. I realize increasingly that an institution
deliberately accepting for itself the task of trying to

discover, train, and direct the energies of unusually
gifted young people assumes a tremendous responsi-
bility. Upon such an institution the obligation is laid
to teach young people that privilege entails liability
and to inspire in them a desire to serve God in a
ministry to mankind not condescendingly, surely, but
humbly and sacrificially.

Wallace M. Alston

Guerry S. S+ukes

DEAN OF THE FACULTY

I hope tliat every girl at Agnes Scott will gain an
inner strength which will help her to face life with
a faith that is serene, simple, and sincere.

S. G. Stukes

Carrie Scandre+t

DEAN OF THE STUDENTS

As the Silhouette brings memories of the people and
events that have made this a happy year at Agnes
Scott, may you never forget the richness of life that
is always yours through friends, fun. good sportsman-
ship, and deep intellectual and spiritual experience.
Carrie Scandrett

ADMINISTRATION

As students passed the administrative offices on the
first floor of Buttrick. they heard the tapping of type-
writers and the sound of cheery voices and they
glimpsed pleasant smiles. The administrative officers
were capably and efficiently tending to the business
of the college. Mrs. Paul Turner, Dr. Alston's secretary,
might be found drawing up the weekly calendar or
typing birthday greetings to students in addition to her
other duties. Mr. J. B. Tart. Treasurer, managed the
school bank, the post office and book store, took care
of tuitions and paid school bills. He was ably assisted
by Mrs. Jerry Marshall, a newcomer to Agnes Scott in
195.5 from Kentucky. The Business Manager, Mr. P. J.
Rogers, Jr. was busy with the building of the new
dormitory. He handled everything bought for the col-
lege, from smallest erasers to dining room furniture.
His secretary. Miss Jo Ann Dodson. was new to Agnes
Scott in 1955 but was not new to the community. The
work of Mr. Dexter White, Engineer, and his staff,
extended to all parts of the campus community and
included tending the steam plant, fixing knocking rad-
iators and preparing Presser Hall for chapel services.

ADMINISTRATION

The staff in the Registrar's office was always ready to
help students, and they were responsible for many
activities necessary to the smooth functioning of the
college. Headed by Dr. Samuel Guerry Stakes, they
carried out duties which included publishing the col-
lege catalogue and keeping records on each student.
Miss Laura Steele, assistant Registrar and Director of
Admissions, corresponded with prospective students
and interviewed those who visited the college. Secre-
taries in the Registrar's Office were special students,
Barbara Duval and Jean Knapp. Mr. Edward McNair
was the Director of Development.

The Alumnae Association was recognized as an im-
portant part of the Agnes Scott community. Not only
have the members in recent years annually contributed
to the college a sum of money equal to a million dol-
lars of endowment, but they have also helped to pro-
vide a vocational service and to maintain the Alumnae
house as a guest home for the college. Miss Anne
Worthy Johnson and Miss Barbara Northey served in
the capacities of Director of Publicity and as Director
of Admissions.

The Book Store, managed by Mrs. Evelyn W. Gar-
wood, sold books and refreshments and was an ideal
between-class gathering spot for students and faculty.

ADMINISTRATION

One of the busiest places on the Agnes Scott campus
was the Dean's office. Students could be seen scurrying
to and from this part of Main building all day long
to send telegrams, to sign out for dates, to pick up the
weekly calendar, or just to chat with the friendly
staff. All campus visitors became acquainted with the
bustling activity of this office. Members of the staff
were Sarah Tucker, better known as "Tuck" to all the
Freshmen whom she advised, Octavia Garlington, who
counselled the Sophomores and gave vocational guid-
ance, Mrs. Curry, director of the Student Aid program,
Mrs. McCracken, the office manager. Marjorie Noell.
and Harriet Ashley. Their friendly and interested atti-
tude made this office a center of the Agnes Scott com-
munity where everyone was welcome.

Mrs. Annie Mae Smith

The dormitory supervisor, Mrs. Annie Mae Smith, and
her assistant, Mrs. Nada Wynn, were responsible for
keeping the dormitories as comfortable and as home-
like as possible. They were in charge of an army of
workers who prepared the buildings for the mass ar-
rival of students at the opening of school, and cleaned
the rooms during the year.

Mrs. Nada Wynn

ADMINISTRATION

Dr. \ irginia Tuggle and her two nurses. Miss Jodie
Horn and Mrs. Alice Bray, looked after the health of
the students. Whether a girl had the flu or a sprained
ankle she knew that she would receive good care.

The McCain Library was efficiently supervised by Mrs.
Edna Byers. Lillian Newman, Harriett Stovall, Mrs.
Webb and Mrs. Currens. Their year-round job entailed
much more than the checking in and out of books.
For instance, one of their more interesting duties was
the arranging of displays representative of all the de-
partments of the college. Highlights of these was the
annual Robert Frost collection, which included first
editions and limited editions, many of which had
been contributed by Miss Laney and by Robert Frost
himself.

and Jodie Horn

Mrs. Bhel Hatfield

The dining hall was under the direction of Mrs. Hat-
field who supervised the planning, buying and serving
of tasty meals.

A familiar sight on the campus in the evening were
Mr. Jones, Mr. Arniistead. and Mr. Parrot, our night
^vatchmen. who assured the safety of everyone.

ART DEPARTMENT

Miss Mariaiina van Rossen Hoogendyk. visiting in-
structor in art, had just completed graduate work at
the University of Georgia. She has loved art since she
was very young, a Swedish nurse being amono; the
people who have helped to develop her appreciation
for it. Miss van Hoogendyk was particularly interested
in ceramics among other fields of art.

Mr. Warren and Miss van Hoogendyk arranged the
many art exhibits which came to Agnes Scott during
the year. The highlight of the exhibitions was the
showing of "The Adoration of the Shepherds" by El
Greco and "The Nativity" by Fiorezo di Lorenzo, two
masterpieces loaned by the Metropolitan Museum of
Art.

an Hoogendyk and an art lab

Professor Ferdinand Warren, the head of the Art
Department, gained wide recognition for his painting.
He was a judge at Telfair Academy of Arts and Sci-
ences art exhibit and has shown paintings at the
Regional Art Gallery. He taught painting and drawing.
His skill and industriousness in another line of art
work was evidenced by the attractive furnishings that
he has made for his home.

Mr. Ferdinand Wa

Paul Leslie Garbe

The head of the Bible Department, Professor Paul
Leslie Garber, was noted among Biblical scholars for
his work on the Howland-Garber reconstruction of
Solomon's Temple, a model which was kept at Agnes
Scott. Mr. Garber did supply preaching and followed
affairs in Palestine and the Middle East with interest.
In the summer of 1954 he was a representative to the
world council of churches.

BIBLE DEPARTMENT

Mr. Samuel A. Cartledge, a visiting professor, has been
on the faculty of Columbia Seminary for twenty-five
years. He once spent a sabatic year in Switzerland and
in the Holy Land and was able to recount details of his
trip to help to make his lectures interesting. Since his
chief hobby was photography, he had taken many
beautiful colored slides of Palestine, which he showed
to his classes.

Twinkling eyes and a smile for everyone were char-
acteristic of Miss Mary Lily Boney, assistant professor.
Students admired her gaily decorated office and the
colored slides which she, like Mr. Cartledge, had a
hobby of taking. She and Mr. Garber were faculty
advisors of the Bible Club.

Mary Boney and Samuel A. Cartledge

Solomon's Temple Model

The Biology Department is headed by Professor Anna
Josephine Bridgman. an Agnes Scott graduate. She had
taught most of her life, but at one time she assisted
in a physics laboratory at Langley Field, and she had
worked at Oak Ridge. Miss Bridgman devoted part of
her time to research on protozoa.

BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT

Lorin W. Roberts, associate professor of biology, was
known to students by his botany courses and by his
keen sense of humor. In addition to teaching, he was
engaged in research on the localization of enzyme sys-
tems in plant tissues. His fondness for being out of
doors led him to take many camping trips with his
wife, Betty, and to serve as a forest ranger in the West
for seven summers. He is faculty advisor of Chi Beta
Phi.

Friendliness and a kren interest in the activities of
the students were tv/o notable features of Miss Nancy
Pence Groseclose, as they were of many other Agnes
Scott teachers. She was affectionately known to the
students .is Miss Grose. The courses that she taught
were histology, embryology, and physiology.

The botany laboratories were conducted by Mrs. Netta
Elizabeth Gray, instructor, who carried on her own
research. In her spare time she enjoyed gardening and
stamp collecting.

Miss Anne Martha Salyerds, instructor in biology, spe-
cialized in parisitology. One of her hobbies was horse-
back riding. She and students who shared this interest
drove to the stables many Saturday afternoons.

Liking the unexpected, Miss Elizabeth Crigler, asso-
ciate professor of chemistry, believed in the saying
that "variety is the spice of life." Perhaps this outlook
explained her fondness for travel and the active part
that she played in such community organizations as
the League of Women Voters. In such ways as serving
fruit salad during an organic demonstration. Miss
Crigler brought variety, as well as interest, into her
classes.

Dr. W. H. Jones from Emory University was a favorite
of his three students. Being an ardent Pogo fan rated
him high on everybody's list.

Mrs. Mary Walker Fox, assistant, conducted the 101
labs. She was always patient in helping students over
the rough spots in experiments and sympathized with
burned fingers and broken bottles. Her "always hold
the test tube pointing this way" was a familiar sound
in lab.

Mrs. Dianne Shell Rousseau, assistant, assisted in
analytical chemistry labs and in the research program.
Students who sampled her fried chicken vowed that
she was an excellent cook as well as an able chemist.

Dr. W. J. Frierson

CHEMISTRY
DEPARTMENT

Mr. W. J. Frierson, Professor of Chemistry, head of
his department and teacher of inorganic classes, was
busy writing a research paper about chromatography
and coiorimetric phases of analysis. Yet he found
time for woodworking, tennis, hunting and fishing, and
often could be seen gardening on Saturday afternoons.
He and his wife frequently entertained students at their
home, and many girls have pleasant memories of
evenings spent there.

CLASSICS DEPARTMENT

One might have said that Agnes Scott's Classical De-
partment had gone to the dogs, although its expressed
and realized objective was to acquaint as many stu-
dents as possible with some of the treasure of the
Graeco-Roman civilization-for their own delight and
enjoyment. The dogs of the department were the Cairn
terriers of Miss M. Kathryn Click, head of the depart-
ment, and Mrs. Youngs beagle, Beaglet.

Miss Click's terriers were her chief non-academic in-
terest and the main source of relaxation, for she had
found it a fascinating study to breed and show them.
She was also a bridge fan and liked to read par-
ticularly literature and political essays.

Mrs. Young's Beaglet shared the lime-light with her
two sons. Her past activities of being a Cub Scout
den mother, an active member of the Atlanta Society
Archealogical Institute and a maker of ceramic jewelry
were largely replaced by her classes here at Agnes
Scott.

ECONOMICS AND SOCIOLOGY
DEPARTMENT

Miss Mildred Rutherford Mell, Professor of Economics
and Sociology, was dean of women at Shorter College
before she came to Agnes Scott. She is active in eco-
nomic and sociological affairs in the community and
nation. Lecture Association owes much to her capable
work as its faculty advisor.

Miss Anna Greene Smith, associate professor of Eco-
nomics and Sociology, also carried her interest in
sociology into her work outside the college, for she
helped with many community activities including Fam-
ily Service and the Red Cross.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Mr. Richard L. Henderson, Professor of Education,
was head of his department which, for the first time
this year, has been separated from the Psychology
Department. This was necessary because of the in-
creasing interest of Agnes Scott students in the study
of teaching. Both Mr. Henderson and Mr. John Good-
land were on joint appointment with Emory University
and Agnes Scott. Miss Miriam Howell, assistant pro-
fessor, was a new member in the department of edu-
cation this year.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT

Professor George P. Hayes, the head of the English
Department, won the admiration of the college com-
munity for his "bravery under fire" as chapel speaker
on Suppressed Desires" Day. He also had a special
place in the hearts of the students for his work as
facuhy advisor of Agnes Scott's very successful debat-
ing team. In a popular course on argumentation he
led a practical study of the subject which included
class debates and oral discussions.

Professor Emma May Laney had her last year before
retiring from an active teaching position highlighted
by her trip to Mississippi in the fall to deliver the
address honoring her college English teacher at her
class reunion. In the winter Miss Laney witnessed Mr.
Robert Frost's fifteenth visit to the campus. The poet
first came to Agnes Scott at her request and has made
annual trips here ever since.

Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn, associate professor of
English, was one of many teachers whom Agnes Scott
is proud to have among its graduates. She served as
president of the Beta chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and
as a faculty marshal. Mortar Board and May Day Com-
mittee owed much to her capable work as a faculty
advisor to them.

Miss Annie May Christie, associate professor, made a
special study of American literature and taught popu-
lar courses in this field. During her leisure moments
she liked to garden and to listen to symphonic music.
Miss Margaret Guthrie Trotter, associate professor of
English, was the faculty sponsor of Folio, the fresh-
man creative writing club. A rumor went around cam-
pus that she had written and published short stories
anonymously.

Miss Roberta Winter, associate professor, specialized
in speech and the dramatic arts. When she attended
Agnes Scott, she was an active member of Blackfriars
in which she said that she always played men's roles.
She now directs the productions of this group.

The faculty advisor for B.O.Z.. the upperclass writing
club, was Miss Janef Preston, assistant professor. She
had recently had several of her own poems published
in poetry magazines. Her interest in creative writing
was carried into her classes on narrative writing and
on verse forms.

Agnes Scott was happy to see Mr. Walter Edward
McNair, assistant professor of English, return to teach-
ing this fall after an absence due to illness. Mr. Mc-
Nair in his courses offered instruction in literature and
in critical writing on the freshman and sophomore
level.

Assistant Professor Mary L. Rion joined the Agnes
Scott faculty for the first time in the fall of 1955. She
had previously taught at Hood and Mount Holyoke
Colleges.

Miss Julianne Hale, instructor, assisted Miss Winter in
teaching speech and drama and in working with Black-
friars. She designed the set used for the gorup's pro-
duction of "Antigone" in the fall.

M;ss Margaret Phyth;<
Miss Muriel Harn

FRENCH DEPARTMENT

Miss Margaret Taylor Pythian, the head of the French
Department, taught courses in the French novel and
drama. Her interests outside the college included
housekeeping, taking walks, reading, and fishing and
swiinniing in the summer. One of her specialties was
making French onion soup.

Little philosophical saying enhanced the classes of M.
Pierre Thomas, assistant professor, as do the clever
sketches which he drew to illustrate stories for French
conversation periods.

Miss Mary Virginia Allen, assistant professor of
French, was also a lover of cats. In fact she said that
when she retired she would like to run an S.P.C.A.
home. Miss Allen is the faculty adviser of the French
Club. ^

A new arrival to the department this year was Miss

GERMAN DEPARTMENT

Chloe Steele, assistant professor, of Denton. Texas. She
was a scrabble and bridge fan and delighted in read-
ing mystery stories.

Mrs. Frank A. Sewell, instructor, was an Agnes Scott
graduate who returned to teach here this year for the
first time. She said that she was one who "flutters
in all directions." and that three activities which she
enjoyed were reading, housekeeping, and "scribbling
plays."

Miss Muriel Harn. Professor of German and Spanish,
was well known for her afternoon parties attended
by German and Spanish students, and her dog Mickey.
Students delighted in seeing her many souvenirs of
her travels, including the beautifully carved wooden
Nativity scene.

Miss Florence E. Smith, Mr. Richard Drake and Mrs. Cathe

HISTORY AND POLITICAL
SCIENCE DEPARTMENT

The head of the Department of History and Political
Science, Professor Walter B. Posey was chosen by the
seniors as investiture speaker this year. History majors
remember Mr. Posey's "definite harrow" and recall
that his "favorite" painting is "Crossing the Dela-
ware," while all students know his friendly smile. Mr.
Posey was a travel enthusiast and found that life had
no dull moments. He was an authority on American
history.

Miss Florence E. Smith, associate professor, was very
interested in chamber music, especially Mozart. She
played the piano, organ, and violin and had performed
with various musical groups in and around Atlanta.

the flute, was another music lover in the history de-
partment. Mr. Drake's other hobby was taking and de-
veloping photographs. He was a candidate for the
Ph.D. at Emory University.

Mr. William A. Calde

PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT

Mr. C. Bentun Kline returned to Agnes Scott this fall
after a leave of absence to work on his Doctorate.
Between being with his young son and writing his
dissertation it was understandable why he said that
he has no time for hobbies. Philosophy 201 students
will always recall his classroom desk which went
through a daily work-out as he made it illustrate
points in philosophies from that of Thales on. Mr.
Kline was adviser to Mortar Board.

PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY
DEPARTMENT

Professor William A. Calder whizzing out of the base-
ment of the science hall on his motorcycle was a
familiar sight at Agnes Scott. Besides his teaching
and his family. Dr. Calder had many and varied
interests ranging from the study of light and sound
waves to playing the harp. He recorded the Greek
music for Antigone and had made records of his
"singing" dog. Stormy. The Bradley Observatory,
which he helped to plan, made his astronomy courses
popular with students.

We think of one September,
We walked these paths alone,
And wondered if we'd ever learn
To make this place our own.

The four ideals have shone forth
And each has had its place.
Traditions which we all revere
Have seemed to interlace.

Now here we've made our home.
With friends whom we hold dear.
We in our hearts we will remain
With those whom we lea\e here . .
And in our hearts we will remain
With those whom we leave here.

Dr. Alston overlooked my name when he read the
Honor Roll for last year. I really didn't mind because
I got to go to the Seniors' Dumb Bunny Party at
lunch. Jake had made a giant size bunny for the table.
Besides, all mv friends were there!

Investiture was the big weekend. Little Girls' Day
dawned bright and clear but not before my Seniors
had donned their fanciest pinafores and wildest cow-
boy outfits for their final fling of childhood. The Lup-
ton Lovelies were the cutest Brownie troop ever. Bucket

biggest money making scheme was the slave auction.

Desires Day that came as a part of Junior Jaunt. Oh
those Seniors you have to go further than the Okefee-

nokee Swamp to get ahead of them. Just as Dr. Hayes

active and experienced part of the Agnes Scott com-
munity, and were looking forward to helping the new

AGNES SCOTT NEWS

The Agnes Scott News, a weekly paper, served the
students not only as a source of information about
school activities and as a reminder of international
affairs, but also as a means of stimulating discussion
on important question. In the past year such campus
matters as the dress policy and the selection of
charities for junior Jaunt were well aired in the paper,
and articles expressing student opinions on national

and international affairs were published. One of the
new and popular features of the News was a column
about the lives of various faculty members. Students
themselves managed and edited the Neivs. Two staffs
are kept busy during the year; the literary group wrote
articles and did make-up work, while the business
section took care of circulation and advertising. The
staff heads were elected by the student body in the
preceding spring, and reporters were selected by tryout.

AURORA

The Aurora, a quarterly literary magazine for student
expression, has been published for the past sixty-five
years. All students interested in writing were invited
to submit poetry, short stories, essays, book reviews,
and literary criticism. The magazine cover and illus-
trations provided opportunities for ait students to
have their work recognized and enjoyed. One feature
which was added to the Aurora in 1955 was an edi-
torial entitled "Know Your College." In the winter
quarter Randall Jarrell judged a poetry contest which
was sponsored by the magazine. The Aurora not only
afforded students a chance to have their work pub-
lished and helped to keep alive the spirit of friendly
competition among them, but it also gave constructive
criticism to them to aid in their literary development.

SILHOUETTE

Work on the 1956 Silhouette began last summer as
Mary, Sally, and Donna, the three elected officers of
the staff "burned up the mails" with letters to each
other and the printers and engravers about plans for
the book. The dummy was drawn up, and September
activities went into full gear. The staff photographer
became a familiar sight at college functions, and copy
writers hounded bulletin boards, teachers, and club
officers for information. Play time came while judging
a high school beauty contest and attending conventions
and publications clinics.

HONOR ROLL

WEARERS OF THE LETTER

High intellectual attainment has always been one of
the basic pillars upon which the Agnes Scott ideals rest.
An avowed purpose of both the faculty and the stu-
dents was to promote and maintain the high standard
of scholarship which had been set in the past, and
of which we were justly proud. Those students who.
by their scholastic achievement warranted membership
on the Honor Roll, were named Agnes Scott's repre-
sentatives of the ideal of high intellectual attainment.

The Letter Wearers were those girls who devoted
their time and effort to participating in the college
athletic program and who. as they did. demonstrated
athletic skill and good sportsmanship. They went far
towards representing Agnes Scott's third ideal, physical
well-being. Their awards were granted on the basis
of points earned for participation and leadership in
both team and individual sports, a letter representing
a total of eighty points and each star, an additional
forty points.

BIBLE CLUB

CHI BETA PHI

It took more than a little rain to dampen the spirits
of the Nevvvo-Classics, the brand-new members of
Eta Sigma Phi; so, changing from tcgas to slickers
they went to the home of Miss Click, sponsor of the
classics fraternity, and celebrated their fall initiation
with an indoor picnic. This was the beginning of
their year of bi-weekly meetings at which the members
presented programs on Greek mythology. Burin's
Spring quarter members of the group represented
Agnes Scott's chapter at the national ES convention,
and then returned to plav hostesses to a visiting
scholar of classical laTiguaaes.

Chi Beta Phi started the year according to tradition
by initiating their 4 new members at a banquet at
the Plantation House. After this the new members
joined the old ones in their bi-weekly meetings. The
year's programs included Agnes Scott"s Dr. Roberts,
several students. Dr. Ritter from Tech speaking about
electronic computers, and a series of lectures presented
by Emory's Pharmacology Department. These pro-
grams, as well as various films, were shared with the
college community throughout the year.

LOWER HOUSE

Lower House, perhaps the most representative group
on campus, functioned as the campus service organ-
ization. The purpose of Lower House was to connect
more closely the Student Government with the student
body. Some of the duties of Lower House were being
responsible for phone and coke co-op, fire drills, the
second-hand book-store, and concert-ticket exchange.
Some of this year's special projects were the purchase
of utensils for the kitchens in the Hub and Hopkins,
and the redecoration of the Exec Room. Lower House
also served as the NSA committee on campus.

We at Agnes Scott were proud of our vital and active
Student Government Association. Each of us did feel
that she shared in it and could live up to the 1956
Student Government theme, "Be a part Not apart."

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

Last fall before school opened, the association had a
retreat at Cherry Lake, Florida, to plan the year's ac-

Pi Alpha Phi. organized as the debating society at

FOLIO

BOZ was the creative prose writing club for upper-
classmen. Although the group's full name was a secret,
there were many facts that were generally known about
the organization. Members were selected from inter-
ested students who submitted tryouts in the fall and
in the spring. At the regular club meetings they con-
structively criticised each others' writing. As the group
was purposely kept small, each person had an oppor-
tunity to read some of her work to the group at least
once a quarter.

Folio was the organization which stimulated creative
writing among the freshmen and gave them an oppor-
tunity to share their work with others. The members,
selected by tryout. gained experience in criticising
each others' writing and benefitted from the sugges-
tions that they received about their own work. At the
end of the year the club published a magazine called
Folio, containing selected writings of its members. In
February Folio members had the privilege of meeting
with BOZ to hear Robert Frost.

BIBLE CLUB

The Bible Club was composed of a group of students
who were interested in learning more about the Bible
and related topics to supplement their classroom stud-
ies. The organization aimed to provide better Chris-
tian leadership by wider and deeper knowledge of the
Bible. At times the group invited outside speakers but
most meetings were devoted to the sharing of research
done by the individual members. A study of the beliefs
of religious groups outside Protestantism and a discus-
sion of selected section of the Bible were held during
the year.

ORCHESTRA

The Orchestra, conducted by Mr. Adams, was com-
posed of interested Agnes Scott students and several
pupils from Atlanta high schools. During the early
part of the year, members practiced with a group of
musicians from Emory University. The Orchestra
played for the Blackfriars production. "The Would-Be
Gentleman." and for May Day.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
CLUB

fairs by sponsoring an International Festival which

tian Association and international interest groups in
Atlanta. Another I.R.C. project was the annual Miss
News Week Contest to find the girl who most fre-
quently read the paper.

acquainted Spanish students with the customs and
everyday vocabulary of Spanish-speaking peoples.
Spanish Club members gained proficiency in the lan-
guage and its literature through the study of songs,
plays, and poems, and by conversing in Spanish. Guest
speakers also made valuable contributions to the pro-
grams.

The aim of the French Club was to stimulate a deeper
understanding of the French language, literature and
culture. To carry out this aim, French Club members
met once a month to study French music, art. family
traditions, and contemporary problems. Their under-
standing was enriched by a carefully selected group of
guest speakers.

BLACKFRIARS

Blackfriars, the only dramatic club on campus, pre-
sented plays and furthered interest and ability in
acting and staging. Fall quarter was a busy one for
the group. On Nov. 3. an acting workshop was held,
then later in the month Blackfriars presented "The
Antigone" of Sophocles. Before the quarter was over
the organization held a theater party to hear Cornelia
Otis Skinner. Winter quarter activities began with
Blackfriars 40th Anniversary Party. Members of the
organization since 1916 took part in the program,
and Miss Lillian Gooch gave a talk about the founding
days of Blackfriars. Club activities continued as mem-
bers worked on student-directed one-act plays. These
plays, "The Intruder" and "Queens of France," were
presented to the campus communitv on February 9.
and gave opportunities for growth in acting and di-
recting. Spring quarter Blackfriars presented Moliere's
"Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme." under the direction of
Barbara Battle and Miss Winter. This quarter was
also marked by tryouts for memberships for the
technical and acting staffs. These involved either
acting or some form of backstage work, such as props,
costumes, or make-up. At the end of the quarter new
members were announced. Acting awards for the
year were presented at the spring quarter play, going
to Joanne Miklas and Nancy Kimmell.

MUSIC CLUB

The Music Club, organized in 1952, was a member
of the National Music Clubs for Students. Monthly
meetings were held for music students and for other
members of the college community who were interested
in learning about great composers and in listening to
their works. The students themselves presented ex-
amples of various kinds of music for their programs.

ORGAN GUILD

The Organ Guild, composed of organ students, is a
branch of the Georgia Chapter of the American Guild
of Organists. The group meets, weekly for discussions
and for performances by its members. When Jean
Langlais. a famous contemporary French organist,
visited Atlanta in the winter, six students plaved for
him in a master class. Another special occasion for
the group was the organ tour of Atlanta which gave
members the opportunity to play on three of the city's
big organs.

COTILLION CLUB

Cotillion Club, an organization promoting social ac-
tivities on campus, presented a semi-formal dance for
freshmen during fall quarter and their annual dance
for the Agnes Scott student body during the spring
quarter. Funds for the club's activities were raised by
selling Christmas cards this year. Sponsors for the club
were Harriette Ashley and Marjorie Noell.

GRANDDAUGHTERS'
CLUB

The Granddaughter's Club, composed of girls whose
mothers or grandmothers attended Agnes Scott, was
a social club which met twice monthly. This group
served as a link between the alumnae and the present
students. This year's special project was the composi-
tion of a calendar of forthcoming campus events,
which was sent to alumnae groups.

HOCKEY

Intramurals got off to a fast start with the hockey
season inaugurated by a bonfire pep rally led by man-
ager Judy Nash. Bruised shins and aching muscles for
players and candied apples for spectators became the
order of the day as class teams settled down to a six
game schedule. The mighty sophomores led the way
with only one tie blemishing an otherwise perfect rec-
ord while the senior team grabbed second honors. An
extra attraction was a hockey playday with other Geor-
gia colleges. Outstanding players were honored with
selection to the varsity and the coveted sportsmanship
award went to Martha Meyer.

RIDING

RIFLERY

BICYCLING

Off-campus sports also played a large part in the ath-
letic program. Saturday excursions to the stables
claimed a hardy group of horseback riders. Under
leadership of B. C. Regen, these Scotties studied the
fine techniques of showmanship. Weekly riflery classes
at Decatur high school were scheduled by manager
Libby Hanson for all gun-toters. Frances Patterson
grabbed high scoring honors for the year. Bicycling
continued as the favorite "unorganized" sport when
balmy fall and spring days lured bookworms to the
outdoors.

BASKETBALL

Cold weather failed to daunt the Scotties as sportsters
moved indoors for the winter quarter basketball sea-
son. For the second year, "A" and "B" teams played
separate schedules. Well-balanced scoring, last minute
goals to eke out victory and aggressive play character-
ized the games which were unusually spirited despite
poor spectator attendance. Awards time found the
Sophomore A and Freshmen B teams on top with the
Seniors and Sophs taking second place respectively.
Basketball manager Martha Meyer announced varsity
and sub-varsity choices and awarded the sportsmanship
medal to Dora Wilkinson. Potseason play found ASC
defeating Brenau College. 3.3-30.

The sophomores grabbed the basketball championship also. Members
the team included A. Avil, M. Meyer L. Sydnor, B. Fewell, S. Ma

FENCING

TUMBLING

"Salute!" "En guarde!" "Thrust!" "Lunge!" These
words became a part of the Scottie vocabulary for the
first time this year as the physical education depart-
ment added fencing to its curriculum. Directed by
Dusty Boyce, the fencing class worked on techniques
and strategy to perfect their talent in the art of defense.
Highlight of their accomplishments was a television
demonstration by Barbara Battle, Nancy Kimmel and
Dusty.

Ping pong rated high on the list of unorganized recre-
ation. The tables in Rebekah were rarely vacant, even
at night ( especially when there were boys around ! )
The annual ping pong tournament was held spring
quarter with a large participation.

Badminton claimed honors as the top individual sport
for winter quarter. Under the direction of manager
Ces Rudisill, two tournaments were held. Junior Anne
McKelvie defeated classmate Jo Ann Beasley in the
singles finals and then teamed with Helen Hendry to
defeat Joanne Miklas and Louisa Allen for the doubles
trophy. The most skillful players gained membership
in the badminton club which held monthly meetings
for both recreation and practice. Highlight for the club
was a faculty-student contest. Tumbling classes, taught
by Dusty Boyce, were also a popular winter activity.
Climaxing weeks of practice, the tumblers gave an ex-
hibition which included everything from forward rolls
to pyramids.

SOFTBALL

Balmy spring (lavs turned athletes" thoughts to Softball
as the hockey field resounded with the crack of a bat,
the thump of gloyes and lusty calls of '"You're out!"
A full schedule directed by manager Julian Preble
brought thrills aplenty to both player and spectator.
Highlight of the season was the annual faculty-varsity
game. In this affair, the brawn and finesse of such male
stars as pitcher W. J. Frierson and slugger P. J. Rogers
combined with the more aesthetic qualities of the fe-
male faculty members to produce a good-natured battle
royal when they faced the cream of the student crop.

TENNIS
SHUFFLEBOARD

Tennis retained its high rating on sports activity lists
for the fall and spring quarters, while some of the
more hardy enthusiasts practiced during the warmer
days of winter quarter. The fall singles tourney was
marked by unusually skilled play, climaxed by an
exciting finals match in which sophomore Anna Avil
edged classmate Judy Nash. To maintain campus
interest, the Tennis club composed of the better players
held bi-weekly meetings to advance skills and con-
ducted a ladder-type tournament among the members.
Under the leadership of manager Marijke Schepman
and president Judy Nash, members also officiated for
matches in both the singles tournament and doubles
event which was held during spring quarter.
After a successful indoor season during winter quarter,
volleyball was moved outdoors during spring. In
March, a match between the freshmen and sophomore
volleyball classes resulted in a double win for the
sophs. Warm weather and late sunsets gave time for
after-dinner recreation in the informal manner.

DOLPHIN CLUB

/^reienti
f-^aiiaort

One of the most active athletic organizations on
campus was the Dolphin club. Membership in this group
represented the epitome to A.S.C. swimming ability.
The swimmers, under the direction of Dusty Boyce,
began practicing early in the fall for the annual ballet
which was given in February. The year's production,
'"Passport." was one of the most elaborate ever at-
tempted and its success can be measured by the packed
house which viewed both performances. Based on an
international theme, the ballet was presented in the
form of a world tour, beginning in the United States
and finally returning to Dixie after visiting Hawaii,
the Orient, Austria. Luxembourg, Spain, France,
Poland and Britain. Highlight of the program was
"Habenara," a Spanish solo by club president Alice
Ann Klostermeyer. Other numbers, each executed with
precision, included duets, trios and larger groups.
Original costumes added sparkle while international
students acting as ushers helped to maintain the atmos-
phere. A skit depicting a prospective voyager's ques-
tions to a travel agent added unity to the performance.
Special colored lighting and a modernistic backdrop
added finishing touches to the production. During
spring quarter, the Dolphins added a new project
teaching swimming to crippled children at Emory.
Club members agreed it was one of the most worth-
while and enjoyable tasks they had undertaken.

DANCE GROUP

cd.a iOoiirique ^antaique

The dance group, under the direction of Miss Eugenie
Dozier, plays an integral role in the physical education
department. Formed for the purpose of providing
specialized dance instruction, the group studied both
classical and modern ballet at their weekly practices.
Climax of the year was the annual ballet presented
in February. For the production, the members chose
a three act ballet entitled "La Boutique Fantasque."
Starring Nancy Trowell and Louisa Allen, the story
centered around the proposed purchase of two toyshop
can-can dolls by different families and the efforts of
the other toys to prevent the separation. Artistic and
lively interpretation of the dances was indicative of
the talent possessed by the group which did its own
choreography under the leadership of chairman Ann
Wilson. Original costumes and scenery depicting an
early twentieth century toy shop provided finishing
touches for the near-professional production. By spring
quarter the dancers, headed by Carlanna Lindamood,
were already laying plans for next year's ballet.

Dance production for two years, and had been
May Day dance chairman for two years.

SEPTEMBER

September! At Agnes Scott September means old
faces and new faces, but all happy faces. The returning
students kept repeating: "It feels so good to be back,"
"Look, they've started the new dorm. " and most of
all, "Oh, isn"t it wonderful!" It seemed there had
never been so many freshmen, millions and millions
of freshmen. But to the freshmen themselves it seemed
as though nothing as wonderful had ever happened
before. One thrilling afternoon. Christian Association
gave a picnic just for them. What was it that had
changed their lives so much? September at Agnes
Scott!! There were teas, parties, orientation lectures,
junior sponsors, sophomore helpers. It was always
"run, run, run, HURRY, you've just got time to see
Miss Scandrett!" Do you remember the night you
pulled out your hoop skirt, and in a cloud of net you
were running again to the lormal Reception? Oh, so
that's what that teacher looks like!" What were those
Seniors talking about? It sounded like, "The freshmen
are wonderful!"' Georgia Tech invited you to their
football game against Miami and you entertained them

with a dance. Remember the bov vou met and the
fun you had at the rush partv at Emory? Remember
September? \ ou didn't know that college could be so
much fun and some of the upperclassmen had for-
gotten. September was a month of discovery and redis-
covery. Do you remember the walk you took one
Sunday afternoon and found that Decatur's trees were
just as beautiful as Virginia's, or Maine's, or Missis-
sippi's? "Hey. Hey. Hey Nancy. Hev Sally. Hey Joan,
Hey Sue!" Who won the grand award at Hey Day,
was it you? "AH Presbyterians go to the reception

room in Rebekah!" \ ou went to Meet the Ministers.
"Dear Mother. Agnes Scott is the best school in the
whole world." The clubs, clubs, clubs, and the meet-
ings, meetings, meetings, began to catch up with vou.
"I think I'm lost!" Hockey practice began and the
many books in your arms got all mixed up in the
caramel apple. The new lobby in Buttrick glistened
brightly and everyone was impressed and proud. The
greatest discovery of all came to the freshmen, who
found that everyone at Agnes Scott is "a part, and
not apart."'

Anne Welborn, a senior from Trion,
Georgia, was a Bible maior and a leader
in Student Government activities, being
Vice-President this year and Treasurer
the year before. Sports were her favorite
hobby. She was a wearer of the letter,
a member of the varsity hockey team
and class teams in hockey, basketball,
and Softball.

OCTOBER

October turned talk of Black Cat into a reality as the
"streamlined feline" himself appeared on campus to
honor the freshmen. He held a sweepstakes in the
afternoon, and a supper on the athletic field. The
sophomores won the song contest just before the
Three Little Kittens found that the spirit of the Black
Cat was in the freshman dorm. The exciting day
ended with a dance in Rebekah as the black kitty
was made an official member of the freshman class.
Athletic Association sponsored a "Fishical Feminary."
the Saddle Club, the Archery Grab Bag. and the Golf
Day competition. There was a hockey bonfire to

make sure that all the classes kept up their high spirits
through the hockey season. The tennis singles tourna-
ment was another subject for excitement. You were
so busy with activities that you almost missed Randall
Jarrell, sponsored by Lecture Association. He spoke
on the "Taste of the Age" and agreed to judge a
poetry contest sponsored by Aurora. Do you re-
member Honor Emphasis week and the convocation
speeches by Mrs. Sims, Sarah Davis, and Randy
Norton? There were Lower House elections and
Athletic Association sponsored a square dance for
the freshmen. Remember going to Decatur to shop

for Dek-It and those silly curtains you bought but
had to take back? Doreen Greenfield and Dale Dick
won top honors with their pale blue room and a mural
called "Pagan Magic." The University Center brought
Dr. Brand Blanshard from Yale to speak on a subject
close to home, "On Being Reasonable."' The bingo
party sponsored by Social Committee brightened up
the Hub and you were glad to take a few minutes of
rest from some urgent paper due on Monday, or the
terrible pains of "get ready, here come the six weeks
tests." "Dear Daddy, couldn't you raise my allowance,
now that I've been at school a whole month?" The
All Star Concert Series and the Atlanta Symphony,
along with Mortar Board's movie, "Room for One
More," provided entertainment on those nights when
it was just too much to have to study. You climbed
stairs and stairs to see the display of oriental wood
block prints in the third floor gallery. It was so good
that you went back the next week to see the Art
Faculty's display, along with the interesting exhibition
in the library of paintings by each of the artists who
have taught at Agnes Scott since 1900. A delegate
from National Student Association, Ray Farabee, vis-
ited our campus. It was fun to have a new man on
campus, even if it was just for one day. The rush

parties at Emory and Tech were over, but you felt as
though you had been some help to the "best fraternity"
and you were still rushing to parties of a different sort.
Football games and dances in Atlanta took up almost
all of the weekends, with the exception of the marve-
lous trips to North Carolina, Duke, Auburn, Washing-
ton and Lee, and perhaps, best of all Annapolis. Those
that found a minute to sit and gaze out the window
some drowsy afternoon found that Agnes Scott was

still as amazing as it had been the day they arrived,
and even though some of the newness was beginning
to wear off, there were a million mysteries underneath
that were beckoning to be found. As the freshman
pounded her sparkling new typewriter or the senior
dreamed of Investiture and "really becoming," October
gave Agnes Scott one last look at her red and golden
dress as she twirled in splendor and disappeared
behind the tower of Main.

Bettye Carmlchael, a senior from McDonough, Geor-
gia, was a Spanish major and the president of the
Spanish Club. All sports interested her, but her favorite
was swimming. Graduation brought her a B.A. and a
MRS.

NOVEMBER

November came, wearing a dress that was just like
October's except that there were more splashes of
brown and less of green. The seniors had been looking
forward to Investiture with such longing that it is no
wonder they let their pent up emotions pour en-
thusiastically into the merriment of Little Girls Day,
their last fling amid the frivolities of lower classmen.
Agnes Scott was invaded with cowboys looking for
their indians. giggling-gurgling moppets who pounded
fellow students with their teddy bears, plus the sailors,
the lollipop lickers and the get-em-in-the-eye water
gun squirters. Even the seniors themselves were sur-
prised W'hen several teachers pulled out suckers or
chased the amazed students around the room with a
stick. When Miss Scandrett capped them the next
day, the whole student body was amazed because they
seemed to have changed over night. Did you ever get
that bubble gum out of your hair? Another highlight

was Blackfriar's presentation for the Fall quarter,
"Antigone" by Sophocles. If you happened to have
forgotten "Antigone" from your 101 course, you were
soon reminded by all the posters, newspaper articles,
and the special chapel program. Some of the speech
classes also went around to all the English 101 classes
and explained the play and aspects of Greek drama
because the freshmen didn't get to the plav until Spring
quarter. The production was very impressive, and as
Miss Winter said the night of the performance, "It's
the largest audience since "Ladv Windemere's Fan.' "
Besides fitting this play into your schedule, you found
time for the librarv tea. the exciting hockey games,
and the archery tournament won bv Caro McDonald
for the sophomores. Rifiery also appeared on the
Athletic Association scene and Agnes Scott became a
part of the National Riflerv Association. You screamed
and yelled so hard the night of the swimming meet

that you almost lost your voice. The sophomores again
swam away with the cup and 49 points. Our own
Mr. Warren was given an award of merit at the formal
opening of the Atlanta Water Color Club's annual
exhibit. His painting was "Shells of the Sea" and
some of his other works were also chosen for an
exhibition at the Regional Art Gallery. The speakers
during November were outstanding. Senora Maria
de Leon Ortega of Mexico City returned to our campus
to spend six weeks teaching Spanish. Her songs in
chapel and at the party were the highlight of her visit
for those who weren't taking Spanish. You hoped
that Ralph McGill would soon return and Colonel
Francis Pickens Miller was very interesting as he
spoke on Christian Citizenship. Folio, the freshman
literary club, chose its new members, and the freshman
class also elected its officers for the year: Libby Hanna,
Patti Forrest, and Katherine Jo Freeman. You were
entertained again by Mortar Board as they brought
"Green Pastures" to the science hall screen. The
Atlanta Symphony starred Beverly Wolff and David
Lloyd, while the All-Star series presented the "Ballet
Espagnols." The Emory Chamber Music Series held
attractions for many when it began its sixth annual
season with the celebrated pianist Rudolf Firkusny.
You found yourself in that hoop skirt again as you

whirled around the floor at Cotil-
lion's first formal dance of the
year, the "College Hop." This
dance was just another way of say-
ing. "Freshmen, we think you're
great!" The Thanksgiving holi-
days gave you just the needed time
to catch up on all the things you
had waited to do "until." and the
most popular activity was sleep.
A few of the braver ones danced
holes in their stockings at Clemson.
Tech. Emory, Auburn, Duke, Vir-
ginia, and Sewanee. You decided
that holidays were just the things
to keep King around in case vou
happen to need one. You just had
time to get back to school and dust
the worms out of your books be-
fore you suddenly looked up and
found that November had slipped
right out the door, taking her wor-
ries and wonders and leaving you
with only the memories of Novem-
ber at Agnes Scott.

Frances Cork, a junior from Talladega,
Alabama, chose an art major which she
originally meant to use in advertising,
but her plans have been changed by her
approaching marriage, and she will now
put it to work In decorating her home.
Frances enjoys waterskiing and visiting
art galleries.

DECEMBER

Changing costumes, December came bright, crisp, and
snappy. She dashed across the quadrangle and sang
Christmas carols through the windows of all the dorms
and cottages. She blew and swirled, confusing the
thermometers and northern new-comers. But with all
her mischief and fun, she brought no snow to Agnes
Scott. You hardly missed it though, for you were much
too busy getting ready for exams and the holidays.
Somehow you found time to fit the All-Star Concert
and Jussi Bjoerling into your schedule. Everyone also
attended the Glee Club's Christmas Concert. You
joined in singing the beautiful familiar Christmas
carols and listened intently as Vee Williamson sang
the solo lead in the '"Magnificat." Within a few days,
there were a few who managed to find lime for the
Atlanta Symphony's presentation of Handel's "Mes-
siah. " There was a great deal of excitement in con-
vocation the morning Dr. Alston announced the ten
members of the Senior class who had Ijeen chosen
for Who's Who. Congratulations were in order for:
Guerry Fain, Louisa Allen, Nonette Brown, Harriet
Griffin, Barbara Battle, Sarah Davis, Jane Stubbs, Anne

Welborn, Louise Rainey, and Eleanor Swain. Mr.
Stan Glass, NSA representative, was on campus to
discuss plans for the forthcoming NSA meeting on
segregation. Dr. Posey flew to Birmingham-Southern
College to receive an honorary Doctor of Humanities
degree. Another delightful evening was presented to
the community by Pi Alpha Phi. They entertained
Cambridge Lniversity's debate team in Presser Hall.
Sallie Greenfield and Joanne Miklas joined forces
against John \ork and Kenneth Post. "Resolved:
That non-agricultural industries should guarantee their
employees an annual minimum wage." Cambridge
took the affirmative, Agnes Scott, the negative. The
entire campus gathered in the Hub on December 11th,
to celebrate together at the annual Christmas party.
Every class was also busy making all sorts of unusual
decorations for the Christmas Tree Project at Henry
Grady. Each class had two trees to make ornaments
for, and day students decorated them during the
holidays. The Junior class won first place with their
pink and silver tree. Although the weather was a
little brisk for a lot of outdoors activity. Athletic Asso-

ciatioii had a busy schedule. The Sophomore class won
the hockey trophy with a total of 5 wins. 1 tie. and
losses. One freezing afternoon a shivering bunch
of spectators watched Anna Avil defeat Judy Nash in
the singles tennis championship. The A. A. awards
were given in chapel as twelve students received either
stars or letters. The sportsmanship award for the fall
season went to Martha Meyer. Thirteen members were
also chosen for the Hockey varsity. B.O.Z. welcomed
four new members and Cotillion chose twenty-one.
There was one last fling at Tech and Emory before
the terrible week of exams began. There were very

few Scotties who didn t take advantage of the host of
Christmas parties. A few made plans to make the
Sugar Bowl along with the \ellow Jackets and the
rest settled down to concentrate on some mathematical
situation until that delightful Thursday that meant
"Let's go home for fruit cake!" Each person took her
own December home with her for Christmas, and
Agnes Scott was briefly forgotten beneath the mistletoe.
Amid the confetti, paper hats, and noisy horns on
New Year's Eve, a very tired December and a very
old year wandered slowly out together, completely
unnoticed if not forgotten.

Emasue Alford. a talented sophomore
from Palmetto, Georgia, was a music ma-
jor and took part in the activities of Co-
tillion Club, Music Club, and Glee Club.
Emasue was sophomore Junior Jaunt
Queen, and a member of the May Court
in '55 and '56. She loved to work with
children and in the line of sports en-
joyed horseback riding and tennis.

JANUARY

The first month of a brand new year was sparkling
fresh and full of enthusiasm as you came back to
school on January .3rd to begin again. There were so
many new activities and jobs to be done, that you had
to choose carefully, for no one was able to do them
all. You had your choice in most things, but after you
had heard Margaret Mead speak on "Shifting Gears in
Mid-Twentieth Century," you were glad you had been
required to go. She was certainly an unusually delight-
ful personality. The Ninth Annual All-Southern Inter-
collegiate Debate Tournament was held on campus just
early enough to avoid running into Suppressed Desires
Day. Dr. Hayes was the darling of the student body in
his oxford grey slacks and bright red cashmere sweater.
"College George" stole the show, surrounded by a
roudy 211 class armed with confetti, horns, and stream-
ers. The faculty was shocked into departing and the
most conmion cry was "CENSORS." The next high-

light on the calendar was Junior Jaunt. The theme was
"Encore," which featured the re-enactment of scenes
from several Broadway musicals, the class skits taken
from shows that had once been on Broadway, and the
crowning of the queen from the class that raised the
most money in the charity drive. Penny Smith crowned
Judy Watson of the senior class and the sophomores
won the skit contest with a silent, black and white take
off on the old movie. "Anthony and Cleopatra." The
freshmen surprised everyone bv earning over a thou-
sand dollars, one-third of all the money raised. Gloria
Calhoun and Sara Townsend were highlights of the
evening with their interpretation of scrubwomen and
Shakespeare. The seniors and engaged students began
attending Wednesday afternoon marriage classes. The
first speaker was Mrs. J. K. Fancher who spoke on
""How to Become Marriageable." This series of lectures
was sponsored by Mortar Board. Agnes Scott received

(

a grant of $285,300 from the Ford Foundation. The
money was given to the endowment fund of the College
and will be used to increase faculty salaries. Black-
friars held their fortieth anniversary party in the rec-
reation hall of Rebekah. Each member of Blackfriars
was assigned two or three alumnae to watch over dur-
ing the evening and to explain the many exhibits of
programs, clippings, and production scrapbooks. The
alumnae themselves took part in the program, giving
selections from plays they had been in. The most popu-
lar subject of conversation was Agnes Scott's first dra-
matic presentation. "Midsummer Night's Dream." But
January's greatest gift to Agnes Scott was the return
of our beloved Robert Frost on January 26. He
brought along ivith him some delightful new poems
wh'ch seemed to offset the fact that his hair seemed a
little thinner and his voice a little softer. He spoke to
a crowded auditorium in Presser and then later to a
smaller group of Folio and B.O.Z. members in Hop-
kins. He dined with English majors and the Alstons,
made his usual rounds of the campus, attending lunch-
eons and dinners in his honor. January seemed to be
Robert Frost himself as he captured us once again in
his magic spell. The month was hurried out with Ca-
reer Coffees, the visit of Henri Peyre. basketball games,
badminton tournaments, and the new fencing class, but
the spell of Robert Frost lingered over us all as Febru-
ary rounded the windy corner.

Cemele Miller, a pretty art major from
Monroe, Georgia, was especially inter-
ested in interior decorating. She com-
bined her interest in art with her love for
working with people in her sunnmer job
of camp counselor. Cemele, a member of
the May Court In '54 and '55, and Sopho-
more Queen of Junior Jaunt, was a mem-
ber of Cotillion Club, sang in her church
choir, and did social work.

With January gone, February immediately began bang-
ing on doors and ratting windows, demanding some
recognition. Although it is supposed to be the shortest
month in the year, it was one of the longest at Agnes
Scott. As though they had nothing else to do all year
long but work on their program. Dance Group pre-
sented a polished and colorful ballet called "La Bou-
tique Fantasque." The story was of a pair of can-can
dolls. Louisa Allen and Nancy Trowell. who were sep-
arated as they were sold to different families. Two of
the cutest performers were Jackie Murray and Libby
Gay as the poodles. \ ou were also amazed by how
much the day student room had changed since they
had begun their re-decorating program. They held an
open house to show off the new brown walls, yellow
curtains, and modern furniture. Religious Emphasis
week was a highlight of middle February and you en-
joyed the evening conferences in the Hub very much.
Dr. Henderlite was a very interesting person and you
were glad to welcome home another alumnae. Black-
friars presented two one-act plays, directed bv Eleanor

FEBRUARY

Swain and Vannie Traylor. They provided a wonderful
evening of entertainment with "Queens of France," a
comedy, and "The fntruder," a mystery by Maurice
Maeterlick. The Emory Chamber Music Series pre-
sented Robert Shaw, our debaters captured the honors
at the West Georgia Debate Tournament in Carrollton,
Mr. George de Twenebrokes Glazebrook of Canada
spoke in Convocation, followed by Dr. Achille Deo-
dato. moderator of the Waldensian General Assembly
and president of the Federal Council of Evangelical
Churches in Italy. Mr. Warren won another honor,
first prize in the watercolor section of the 27th annual
exhibition of the Association of Georgia Artists held
at the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens. Since Athletic
Association had been forced indoors because of the
cold weather, the basketball games were top contenders
for the attention of those with athletic eyes. The sopho-
mores came out in first place in the tournament, fol-
lowed by the freshmen in second place. Junior Anne
McKelvie defeated Jo Ann Beasley for the singles bad-
minton crown. Miss Boyce and Mrs. Lapp attended a

Physical Education conference in Nashville.
Tennessee. The May Day room was redec-
orated and the basketball varsity members
were chosen. Ten varsity members and six
sub-varsity members were selected. Found-
ers Day gave you just the right amount of
time to catch upon that needed sleep and
perhaps to take in "Teahouse of the August
Moon" at the Tower theater. One of the
most delightful dramatic presentations ever
to be held at Agnes Scott was brought by
Lecture Association. They featured Play-
ers. Incorporated, a repertory group spon-
sored by Catholic Lniversity in Washing-
ton. D. C. The brilliant wit and high
humor of Beatrice and Benedict will never
lie forgotten. Don John was the perfect
\illain, down to his long stemmed rose and
jeweled dagger. Another wonderful evening
as provided by Dolphin Club. As Scotties
look down their pink and red ruffled paper
hearts from walls and bulletin boards, thev
noticed a sudden change in the atmosphere
and heard a distant lion's roar. February
fled at the sound, leaving vou alone with
only sixteen more davs until Spring Vaca-
tions.

MARCH

Although you had heard the lion's roar, you were
quite surprised when March showed her face. She came
in calm and soft, leading her precious little lamb. She
was really fooling you though, for the lamb soon ran
away from the hiding lion, the beautiful weather dis-
appeared, and the rains came. It didn't stay warm long
either, for cold weather came with the rain as you got
ready for exams. There were the usual reviews and
long studious afternoons that ended in that delightful
final Thursday and Spring Vacations. They were short,
but wonderful. You took all your winter clothes home
so you could bring back your cottons. It was fun get-
ting ready for spring and trying to get just enough
sun to pretend you had been to the beach. Then you
hurried back to Agnes Scott, only to find that it was
still March and a little too cold for your summer ward-
robe. It was lucky you had saved a blanket or two for
the late frosts. But March finally had to give in as the
impatient spring took over her debut month. Classes
seemed so much longer with the beautiful sunshine out-
side, but were were busy trying to plan your courses

Sis Burns, a junior from Knoxyille, Ten-
nessee, was Chairman of Lower House in
I955-I95&. During her senior year she will
head Mortar Board. She is a Bible major
and a keen tennis player.

for next year, this summer, or perhaps graduation and
a wedding in late June. Elections were important too.
and you took time out to attend the Tumbling and
Fencing demonstration in chapel. During Holy Week
there were special morning watch ceremonies on the
Infirmary lawn. Rev. Robert E. Lee spoke to you in a
special Holy Week chapel on "What the Cross Means
to God." Dr. Mack B. Stokes of the Candler School of
Theology at Emory continued the series at Convocation
when he spoke on "What the Cross Means to the In-
dividual." Dr. Alston concluded the speeches with
"What the Cross Means to the World." On Good Fri-
day there was a special meditation, led by Nancy Hol-
land, and the Decatur Presbyterian Church held a
Community Good Friday service, featuring Gounod's
"Gallia." sung by the Decatur Women's Chorus. To
coincide with the weather and the high spirits, Athletic
Association encouraged badminton, volleyball, golf,
riding, and especially baseball. The classes began prac-
ticing for the tournament. Tennis also came back into
the foreground after a cold winter, and the life saving

course was an attractive feature in the basement of the
gym. Blackfriars announced that it was opening its
technical tryouts to freshmen as well as upper-class-
men. Twenty-five students immediately began hammer-
ing and sawing in the basement of Presser. building
scenery for the spring play. They made quite a bit of
competition for organ students and recital practices.
Music poured out of Presser as windows were flung
open to let in the warm spring air. There were never
enough bicycles to be had for afternoon rides, go you
took to your hiking shoes to enjoy the dogwood in
Decatur. You sailed into town to do your shopping
and pick .ml jii-l llic right hat for Atlanta's famous

Easter Parade. It was hard to settle down and to realize
that you were actually in the last spring quarter, but
somehow you managed. The lion in March turned out
to be just the nudge you needed to get back on the
right path again, and by the time the soft little lamb
returned you had been steeled to stay awa\ from temp-
tation. One bright afternoon you stopped on the way
back to your room, and turned, as if to give turbulent
March a pat on the back, but you suddenly found she
had tricked you again. She left without even saying
goodbye, in a rush of soft breezes and the perfume of
the violets near Buttrick Hall.

APRIL

IT RAINED! It rained ami it rained! Bultritl"s luiihy
was paved in the tliousands of multicolored umbrellas
that sprouted suddenly in the wake of dark and heavy
laden clouds. First prize went to the chocolate colored
one with all the pink ruffles. But following the rain and
umbrella clouds came the beautiful April skies and
brilliant afternoons, fresh sparkling grass, and the most
fantastic dogwood in Atlanta. It looked as though our
tree beside Presser was trying to take all the attention
away from an activity filled month at school. It didn't
quite succeed though, for everything seemed to have
been very well attended. On the first Monday of the
month, the entire student body tumbled into Gaines to
elect Penny Smith president of Student Government.
Margie Dei'ord was elected to head Christian Associa-
tion and Carolyn Herman top girl on the Athletic Asso-
ciation roster. The rest of the elections ran smoothly
and the campus had a new set of leaders by Friday
afternoon. The sophomores were exceedingly ingenious
in their decorations for the annual sophomore dance.
They had a carousel that actually went round and
round. The band from Emory was so glad to come.

they plaved on till twelve-thirty and the Techniques
from Georgia Tech were an added attraction during
intermission. Miss Leyburn introduced the Phi Beta
Kappa speaker, Dr. Charles Hartshorne, professor of
philosophy at Emory. The new Phi Bete's were: Ann
Alvis, Priscilla Bennett, Memye Curtis, Guerry Fain,
June Gaissert, Peggy Mayfield, Betty Richardson, Sally
Shippey, Joanne Smith T. Jane Stubbs, Nancy Thomas,
and Vera Williamson. The 102 Agnes Scott girls who
participated in the Multiple Sclerosis drive collected
over .S10.53 in their Sunday afternoon campaign, and
Archer Boswell was awarded the trophy as best col-
bctor. Blackfriars presented "The Would-Be Gentle-
man ' on Friday, the thirteenth, but it proved to be a
lucky day for this dramatic group. Moliere's play was
elaborately and skillfully done. After the performance,
JoAnne Miklas was awarded the Claude S. Bennett
trophy as best actress of the year. Nancy Kinmiel got
the award as best supporting actress. Memye Curtis
presented a lecture in Maclean as a climax for her
independent study program. Her subject was Shavian
heroines and the recital consisted of excerpts from

RunHa McCurdy, a freshman from San
Antonio, Texas, was interested in sports
and music. Her good sportsmanship and
athletic skill merited her a position on
the sub-varsity hoclcey team, and the
class managership of badminton and vol-
leyball. In the music field, she played
both the violin and the piano. Although
Runita had not chosen her major yet, her
favorite subjects were history and French.

122

"Caesar and Cleopatra. "F\ jimalion," and "Saint
Joan." Rameth Richard. Louise Rainey, and Alice
Johnson presented a joint organ recital, while Peggy
Mayfield gave her senior piano recital. A. A. held a
skating party at the Figure Eight Ice Rink at Lake-
wood. Softball games held everyone's attention on Fri-
day afternoon and the tennis club held their Spring
quarter tryouts as the doubles tournament got under
way. Mortar Board sponsored a leadership conference
and all the clubs began to hold their tryouts for the
coming vear. There were also a multitude of farewell
jiarlirs and rclcbartinns. Miss Preston won a prize for

her poem ""To the Patron Saints ol \iiiinal>. besides
having another published. The juniors kept in the
spring spirit at their banquet, called ""Blossom Time."
They decorated with pink and white dogwood trees,
white picket fences, ivy on trellises, green grass, and
park benches in front of a beautiful lake and glowing
moon. The dinner was wonderful; the dance was bet-
ter. Rose buds began to show their color as April
began to get rather uneasy. She was gone before there
was any time to miss her, and seniors found there was
verv little time left at Agnes Scott.

Mary Mayne Wilson, a (reshman from
Knoxville, Terressee, was one of the
campus "redheads." She was Junior
Jaunt Queen for her class this year.
Reading and swimming were her favorite
hobbies. She was also interested in dra-
matics. During the summer she enjoyed
typing briefs and wills in her father's
law office.

MAY

As the white and pink dogwood, the delicious
hyacinths, and vibrant azaleas faded from the campus
to make way for fresh green leaves, the maiden May
filled the heart of Agnes Scott with her bursting spirit.
She poured into the dormitories and cottages, even
took a blowing twirl through Walters. She tempted
students to wander aimlessly across the green grass
and leave their books behind. She challenged souls
to duels at Venetian and Pine Lake, and sometimes
she won, but. more of;en, lost. Sunbathers appeared
on the roof of Rebekah and Inman's porch. Students
in the phys. ed. classes gained tans around the collar
and only half way up the thigh, as they frolicked on
the tennis courts or hit a homer in softball. Even the

archery classes just gave up on several afternoons to
lake hikes through Decatur to see how many roses
were out. Opera Season came to Atlanta from New
York, bringing with it some of the world's most famous
stars and performances. Scotties dressed up and out
to attend the gala performances of Offenbach's "Tales
of Hoffman." and Wagner's "Die Meistersinger," along
with many of the popular favorites. Barbara Battle's
May Day thrilled the lady May beyond measure.
Meniye Curtis had written the scenerio, built around
the traditional "Comedia del Arte" theme. Nancy
Trowell danced the lead, as Harlequin, opposite the
coquettish Columbina, danced by Louise Rigdon. Har-
lequin had come, along with two other suitors,

II Dottore, the doctor, and 11 Capitano, the soldier, to
compete for the hand of the lovely Columbina. Her
father. Pantalone. is against Harlequin, but the clever
and charming fellow wins her hand in the end. Fol-
lowing right on the heels of this production was senior
opera, which began as a takeoff on opera week since
it came so close behind it. Vee Williamson was in
charge of the show, which they called "Here's a Pretty
Mess." It was a delightful combination of Gilbert and
Sullivan plus William Shakespeare. Judy Brown sang
the role of Juliet, Dorothy Weakley was Romeo, with
Rookie Smith as the nurse, Joanne Miklas as Lord
Capulet, and Jane Stubbs as Friar Lawrence. Sally
Wilt, Barbara Battle, Jean Gregory, and Mary Jo
Carpenter all had humorous and interesting parts.
The ghost trio consisted of Jackie Plant, Rameth
Richard, and Nancy Frazier. The talented and energe-
tic maestro was Nancy Burkitt. Everyone was pleased
with the performance and Gaines was full of laughing
people. The seniors were even asked to advertise their

performance on television. The
rest of the month was busily spent
in closing up, cleaning up, and
studying up for those final exams.
It seemed so hard to believe that
it was already the end of such a
wonderful year at Agnes Scott.
Things had happened much too
quickly, and you stopped every
now and then to think back over
the year to remember each month
and what it offered. You also hur-
ried to parties and tried not to say
goodbye, it was too hard. You
wondered when and where you
would see all your friends again
as May kissed you goodbye and
June bowed gracefully before you.
as if to say: "I will only know you
a moment at Agnes Scott, but il
will be a memorable one.

JUNE

Although there wasn't much of June at Agnes Scott,
to most it was the most memorable month of all. To
the three underclasses, it meant the end of a full and
prosperous year, not only for Agnes Scott, but for
themselves in their academic career. It meant a pro-
gression of busy months, full of the happy memories
of working hard together at a task that would be
beneficial to all in the end. It meant looking forward
over the summer months of fun and relaxation to
another school year as full of promise as this has been.
To many it meant the privilege of coming back to
Agnes Scott, but to the seniors it meant something
different, something more. The seniors have four
short, happy years behind them, and all the promise
and rewards of a full and beneficial life away from

Agnes Scott waiting for them after June. Some will
get jobs, some will get married and raise families, and
some may even come back to Agnes Scott to share
the fruits of their life with some distant group of
students; but no matter what happens to them, they
have the strong background that they have built for
themselves, here with you. After the final exposure
to exams, the air lightened as parents and families
poured onto campus. Alumnae came back to share
tlie happiness of the moment with the graduating stu-
dents. The Speech Department gave a special program
in honor of the class of 19.56 and their families. You
all met together in Gaines to worship together for
the last time at Agnes Scott. There were special
parties in all the dorms and cottages, packages crowded

(lie niailroom and special delivery letters were not
unusual. The telephones rang themselves silly trying
to keep up with all the happy messages. It was sad
to say goodbye to little sisters, to teachers, to the
"most wonderful sponsor of all," to the buildings
that had been your home for four years. You were
leaving a great deal behind, but you were taking
even more with you, and that was what kept this
final goodbye from being just a sad occasion. You
were already making plans for your study in England
next year, your job at Black Hills Public School, the
color for the living room walls. You were anxious to
get busy. You were prepared and enthusiastic about
this new beginning. You knew you would come back
to Agnes Scott; it didn't make too much difference
if you left your place to make room for someone who
needed it more, now that you had filled that need
within yourself with a new one that Agnes Scott if
unable to furnish. Goodbye Presser, Buttrick, and
Main. Goodbye pink slips and hockey games. Good-
bve Miss Scandrett, goodbye Martha, goodbye Dr.
Alston. Hello world! That golden day when you
received your diploma and got your tassel moved to
the other side, that wonderful feeling you had when
your parents smiled their pride, all these have dis-
appeared within that June, but "Magnolia trees and
gothic hall, the scenes that welcome us each fall. We'll
have these moments to remember!"

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.
