Agnes Scott the word itself is steeped
in tradition. Here, tradition has become a
port of our lives. Yet, Agnes Scott is not too
old for change. And change we have not
fast enough for some; too quickly for others.
We ore constantly trying to keep our balance
in the world. A liberal arts woman's college

is becoming rare. But Scott is one of the
finest preparing young women to cope
with a world in constant flux. Yet we still are
cherishing our traditions footholds in the
past. Tradition and Change the essence
of the Agnes Scott experience.

The emphasis on the academic experience at
Scott in the past year has broadened to include the
Decatur community. Scotties lent their talents and
their hearts to tutoring and social work, both as
parts of classwork and as volunteers. Yet, plenty of
opportunities for fellowship still existed on the
campus. Weekly Convocations, Hub parties, and in-
formal gab sessions in the dorms remained a vital
part of a Scottie's life.

Spain and Germany

Summer Study Abroad,
Fine Arts and Fine Wine

Last year's Summer Study Abroad programs were spon-
sored by the Spanish, Art, and German departments. Two
groups from Agnes Scott participated, one going to
Madrid, Spain, and the other going to Marburg, Germany.
Each group studied the art, architecture and language of
their respective countries. Outside the classroom they also
gained an understanding and appreciation of the culture
and society in which they studied.

Below: A wine and cheese party in Marburg was attended by many of
the group, including Herr Bicknese and the busdriver, Wolfgang, from
the 1971 tour. Above: Jeanne Jones, Jet Harper, Win Anne Wan-

Scott's Orientation:

Above: Students Jennifer Driscoll and Kathy Ootes made use of all available help
moving in. Below: Scott and Tech freshmen met at the "street dance" which was
held in the cafeteria due to the threat of rain.

This year Agnes Scott prepared to meet its new
freshman class, for the first time in years a larger
class than the year before it. Orientation Council
worked hard to plan events which introduced
freshmen to campus boards and activities, to men
from neighboring campuses, and to the Atlanta
area: Campus board parties, mixers here and at
Tech and Emory, and the "Orientation packet"
telling students about Agnes Scott and Atlanta.
Orientation also made a special effort to in-
troduce transfer students to their classes with a
party given in the Hub for sophomore transfers
and a party in the Alumni garden for junior
transfers. Another new twist to orientation activi-
ties were the Interdorm sponsored "Meet the
Freshmen" parties given in the freshmen dorms
to encourage upperclassmen to get to know the
new class.

Registration also had a "new, improved" flavor.
For those who had planned well enough the spring
before there was "advanced registration," a
process by mail which permitted these fortunate
few to forgo meeting the scheduling committee
when they returned to school. For those who did
have to see the committee, quite a harrowing ex-
perience for the first time, scheduling was still
better than the madhouse associated with the big
universities. Scheduling as well as orientation is
able to retain a personalized atmosphere at Agnes
Scott.

Arts Council President Melissa Schuster spoke
at the Freshmen "Introduction to the Arts".

Cat gome competition.

Freshmen "Fire-Up''
with Little Hot Stuff

Traditionally, Block Cat has been Agnes Scott's big-
gest annual cornpus-wide weekend. Instituted over fifty
years ago, Block Cot designates the end of freshman ori-
entation. Through the years activities have been added
which moke Block Cot on even more special occasion for
the campus community. This year's events spanned
Thursday night through Sundoy afternoon. Spirit ran high
as classes began competition in the cafeteria and
serenading in the Quad before Block Cat's official
kicking-off the bonfire and pep rally in the amphithe-
atre Thursday night. At the bonfire each doss sang its
original song twice for the judges, and the competition
winners were announced the next night at the Junior
Class sponsored production. The Juniors won and the Se-
niors were runner's-up. This year's production was a take-
off on "Camelot," I Wonder What the Scotties Are Doing
Tonight? The production was followed by folk music and
candied apples in the Quod. Because of Tech's home
game with Tulane, no picnic at Stone Mountain was
planned. Instead, a Lawn Party was held Sunday after-
noon, with diners in the Quad enjoying live organ music.
One of the highlights of Block Cot was the dance held
Saturday night at the Morriot, with the Virginia Beach
group Bill Deal and the Rhondells. The problem with
Black Cot? It was over too soon, and the only thing
left to look forward to was exams.

Lectures:

Bringing the Outside World In

On October fifteenth and sixteenth the campus cele-
brated the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Robert
Frost. For this college the year marked the centennial of
not only a great poet, but also a very special friend. Af-
fectionately named Agnes Scott's "old Beau," Mr. Frost
made twenty visits here during his lifetime.

Proposed by an alumna, and planned and supervised by
Mrs. Pepperdene, chairman of the English department,
the "Celebration of the Poet" featured five outstanding
speakers. Kathleen Morrison, Mr. Frost's secretary and
schedule planner for twenty-five years, and her husband,
Theodore Morrison, noted Professor Emeritus at Harvard,
reminisced about Frost the man and Frost the poet. Critic
Cleanth Brooks lectured on "Nature and Human Nature
in the Poetry of Robert Frost." Dr. Wallace Alston, Pres-
ident Emeritus of Agnes Scott, shared memories of Frost's
visits to Agnes Scott. Poet Richard Wilbur gave a reading
of his works and, with Mr. Brooks, discussed Frost's poet-
ry. A program of the poetry, spoken and sung, was also
presented, and coffees and a reception gave both
students and faculty a chance to talk with the speakers
about the man whose "lover's quarrel with the world"
lives on in his poetry.

The Frost Celebration

Above: During her visit at Scott Mrs. Morrison talked with students
over lunch at the cafeteria. Below: Cleanth Brooks, Dr. Alston, Pres-
ident Emeritus, and Dr. Perry, President of Agnes Scott, escorted each
other down from the stage following the convocation honoring Frost.

and Political Science at Agnes Scott from 1939 to 1965, and a former
Deon at Sweetbrior College. She spoke on the alternatives for lifestyles
and opportunities for fulfillment open to women todoy.

The Guarneri String Quartet performed in Gaines Auditorium Monday evening, October 1 4.

October was a busy month at Agnes Scott. Crowded
in between Honor's Day and the Frost Centennial and
Black Cat was an excellent performance by the inter-
nationally famous Guarneri String Quartet. Admission
was free and open to the entire community, and the
concert was well attended. A reception in Rebekah
Reception followed the performance.

November brought with it o new "conscious-
raising" in the Bio-ethics Conference. In order to fa-
miliarize the students with the issues involved in bio-
ethics the conference was preceded by three seminars.
The topics of the seminars were those which were to
be discussed at the main conference genetic
research and its attending problems, euthanasia, and
the problems associated with human experimentation.
These seminars were well attended and helped to
stimulate interest in the conference itself, held
November 6-8.

Continuing on the high plane of intellectual stimu-
lation in which Agnes Scott prides itself was the lec-
ture given by Phi Beta Kappa visiting scholar Hazel
Barnes. Ms. Barnes, a professor at Colorado Universi-
ty, addressed the topic of "Existentialism and Alien-
ation" January 13 in MacLean Auditorium. Ms.
Barnes also spoke to a psychology class here on
campus.

While at Agnes Scott Ms. Hazel Barnes, Phi Beta Kappa guest lecturer,
spoke to the Contemporary Theories in Psychology class. |1

Above left: Departing from the usual
Founder's Day "pat-on -t he-back" type

ed students and faculty in the Hub.

Junior Jaunt, held April 10-11, was just one of the
many events which competed for students' study time.
Traditionally sponsored by the Junior class as a chari-
ty fund-raising project, this year the Junior Jaunt
projects raised over a thousand dollars for Florida's
Duvall Home for retarded children. All four classes
teamed up to coordinate the activities. The Sopho-
more Banquet, with the Senior Raffle and the
Freshman Slave Auction, was held Thursday at
dinner. Later that evening students attended the
Junior Class sponsored Talent Show, in which students
and staff displayed their abilities to tell and take a
joke, along with some excellent and unusual "talent."
The featured event on Friday was J.J.'s Country Store,
sponsored by the Juniors. Held in the Hub, the
Country Store featured potted plants, study boards, a
bake sale, and a Senior-sponsored Left-over Corner.

Before Sophomores hod a chance to turn
around after midterm week parents began ar-
riving for the extravaganza known as Sopho-
more Parent's Weekend. Although some
parents were seen lurking around school
grounds that Thursday night, official activi-
ties did not begin until Friday's chapel at
which Dr. Michael Brown, Professor of Histo-
ry, spoke. Later that afternoon parents had
the opportunity to visit Dana Fine Arts Build-
ing, Bradley Observatory and the Howland
Garber model of Solomon's Temple. Although
most parents needed not to be reminded of
their daughter's talents, sophomores treated
them to a Creative Arts Production and a
Dolphin Club Water Show. Saturday morning
parents visited some of their daughter's
classes, all the better to appreciate the
luncheon and dessert coffee held aftertvards
in their honor. Parents were then left at their
daughter's mercy for the remainder of the
weekend.

was the Sophomore Parent's Banquet boneless fried chicken. With
such royal treatment as the service by smiling senior, students and

"The Play's the Thing .

Student directed one-act plays were presented at Scott Febuary 28
March 1 and March 7-8. William Inge's "Glory in the Flower,"
Edmond Rostand's "The Romancers," and Edward Albee's "The
Sandbox" were presented on the first round, with the recognition
scene from "Anostosia" and Jean-Paul Sartre's "No Exit" given
the next weekend. Above are Susan Stigall as Grandma and Glenn
Williamson as Daddy in a scene from "The Sandbox." Right; Dr.

The National Players of the Catholic University in
Washington, D.C., performed Shakespeare's Henry
IV, Port I, to a full house in Gaines Auditorium.
Besides Prince Hal and Hotspur, Falstaff was the
character with whom most Scotties could identify.

Blackfriar's production

'The Gross Harp" was
selected as first alter-
nate in the Southeas-
tern regional competi-
tion of the American
College Theater Fes-
tival. For her portrayal

honored by being asked
to compete for the

gional festival in Talla-
hassee, Florida.

From Capping to Investiture to Graduation

Each year at Agnes Scott had its own flavor, but the
Senior year was unique. The process of becoming a Sen-
ior began at Capping in April of the Junior year. In the
secret ceremony each Senior gave a Junior her mortar
board, symbolizing the Junior's entrance into the Senior
class to fill the place of the leaving Senior. The ceremo-
ny, held at night, was preceded by a banquet for both
classes.

The Seniors' status was officially recognized at Senior
Investiture in which the Seniors received their own
mortar boards from the Dean of Faculty, Julia T. Gory.
Investiture represented the first stage in the process of
Graduation the cap's tassle was placed on the right
side at Investiture and at Graduation was flipped to the
left side to symbolize the completed cycle. Dr. Kwai
Chang, Professor of Bible and Religion, was chosen by
the class to speak at the November 2 Investiture, and
Dr. Lawrence Bottoms spoke at the Sunday worship ser-
vice held for Seniors and their parents.

Senior year ended for the Class of 1975 on June 8,
1975 with Graduation ceremonies. By then they had
capped the Class of 1976 who began the cycle again.

Above: Seniors gathered on the porch of
Rebekah Saturdoy morning to be lined up for

Dr. Marvin Banks Perry

Marvin Banks Perry, Jr. was inaugurated as the
fourth President of Agnes Scott College on May
18, 1974. For the college it was a time for for-
mally welcoming Dr. Perry after a year of getting
to know him. Proceedings honoring Dr. Perry
began May 15 with convocation speaker
Josephine Jocobsen, poet, critic and former con-
sultant to the Library of Congress. Agnes Scott
alumna Dr. Jeanne Addison Roberts, currently at
the American University in Washington, D.C.,
spoke on "Shakespeare's Prince Hal as a Model
for Career Women" at a second convocation on
May 17. That evening the celebration continued
with a concert given by the glee clubs of Anges
Scott, Georgia Tech, and Spelman. Inaugural cer-
emonies Saturday morning included the repre-
sentatives of nearly two hundred other institutions
in academic procession, and formal welcomes to
Dr. Perry from the different segments of the
college the trustees, faculty, and students.
President Emeritus Wallace Alston took part in
the ceremony in which Alex P. Gaines inducted
Dr. Perry into the presidency. The day was made
complete with the celebration of the Inaugural
Ball at the Executive Park Motor Hotel.

In the outside ceremonies Dr. Perry reiterated what he considered to be Agnes
Scott's goals for the future in his address "To What Green Altar . . .?"

Studious "DAY" STUDENTS Burn Midnight Oil

Day students were once called "Irregular Students", implying some
digestive or mental deficiency on their parts. Now they are just called
"Day Students", a misnomer which seems to imply that their span of
activity is limited from sunrise to sunset. Au contraire! The "average
Day Student", whoever SHE is, must have trucked, bussed, autoed, or
walked to the halls of Agnes Scott, preceding the light of day. "Day"
students returned to their respective homes long after the day was
gone. Thus, were often left "in the dark". This state of "darkness"
extended to the daylight hours spent in the halls of Scott. Although
they worked just as hard as the "regular" students at scholastic ac-
tivities, "Day" Students were often left in the dark about the ex-
tracurricular ones; however, most made special arrangements to at-
tend "night" activities. With respect to homework the "Day"
Students' hours were not confined to the hours of light. Many battled
traffic, or went to evening jobs, or attended to family responsibilities
before settling down to homework. This studying often extended
beyond the evening hours, but many did not have the luxury of
sleeping late the next morning. Although their lack of participation
was frequently criticized, it must be noted that Day Students were
probably on the whole more disciplined, more hardworking, and more
exposed to the realities of life, especially the economic ones, than
were the "regular" students. They had less time in which to do their
research, studying, and homework, but seemed to do it better.
Perhaps, Day Students were, indeed, "irregular", but it was an ir-
regularity of which they could be proud.

A husband was playing tennis when a
familiar woman, fearing on indiscretion
on his part, asked in an endearing tone of
voice if he were a student at Agnes Scott.
He answered, beaming with pride, "I'm
married to her'", glad that he had remem-
bered to put on a shirt. If you want to find
out what it's like being married to a
Scottie, simply ask the husband.

He invariably finds Agnes to be a
devoted second wife, one who never leaves
his side. At dinner, Agnes is present in the
alluring shape of a bowl of Campbell's
tomato soup "that's one snappy
tomato!" barely warmed and straight
from the saucepan; or in her purest form,
Agnes takes the flawless shape of an ab-
sent wife off attending Rep Council, Arts
Council, Mortar Board, BOZ, Aurora, you
name it. And Agnes is equally attentive at
bedtime. A husband is often overwhelmed,
if not totally distracted, by Agnes' deter-
mined presence at his side. She is a per-
fect bedfellow, having no fattish hips, no
haircurlers, no face cream, needing no
reading lamp for those curious "five extra
minutes of study." Agnes' bedtime shape
is also that of an absent, but studious
wife. Yes, any husband of a Scottie can
tell you that Agnes is the sort of woman
that demands a lot. And she gives in re-
turn, well . . . strength of character,
perhaps. But mostly, the husband married
to Agnes would have to admit that Agnes
gives her "husband" a wife, who though
often absent, is bound and determined to
sustain a nourishing relationship with her
husband and an amicable if not
thoroughly "modern" relationship with
a jealous and generous second wife named
Agnes Scott.

The Year in Perspective

President Richard Milhouse Nixon
announced his resignation as
37th President of the United States
on August 8. He become a casualty
of the Watergate holocaust. Facing
almost certain impeachment, .Nixon
left office after releasing the
transcript of a conversation with
H.R. Haldeman showing that he
knew of the Watergate coverup sev-
eral days after the original incident.
This knowledge confirmed what the
nation long had suspected but what
the White House repeatedly had de-
nied.

Scotties entered the 1974-75
school year with a new model pres-
ident. Gerald Rudolph Ford, although
a Republican like his predecessor,
pledged an open government. The
hope he voiced was that we could
put Watergate behind us and tackle
long-neglected problems. The nation
had been at a standstill througlviut
the investigation. Now most were
tired of hashing and rehashing

events related to Watergate.

Ford, a former football star, cap-
tured the nation's fancy as he made
his own lunches and swam daily to
keep fit. Quite a different mood
settled over the nation for a short
time. The new President's vivo-
ciousness was a relief from the
previous gloom and tension Nixon
had exhibited in his last days. Ford
turned his attention to energy,
economy, and amnesty.

The nation's honeymoon with its
new leader was over quickly as Ford
announced a "full, free, and
absolute pardon" for "citizen" Rich-
ard Nixon even before any formal
charges had been lodged. This ac-
tion touched off speculation that a
deal had been made. Ford's press
secretary, Gerald terHorst, resigned
in protest rather than justify the
controversial action.

After weeks of speculation, Ford
nominated Governor Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York for Vice-
President. This brought about inves-
tigations into the legendary wealth
of the family. Rocky was worth
$218.4 million and it was disclosed
he had given $24,71 2,245 in gifts to
charitable, educational, and other
tax-exempt organizations between
1957 and June 30, 1974. After four
months of inquisition, he was sworn
in as the 41st Vice-President by
Chief Justice Warren Burger. Thus,
the nation was led, for the first time
in its history, by two men who were
not elected by the vote of the peo-
ple.

Shortly after Ford took office his
wife, Betty, a former Powers model,
was operated on for breast cancer.
Nineteen days later, "Happy"
Rockefeller, wife of the Vice-
President, was operated on for the
same malady. These inciderits made
American women more aware of the
danger of this type cancer.

Nixon's phlebitis, which hod
plagued him in his lost days in of-
fice, worsened and he went into the
hospital in October. While reco-
vering from on operation to relieve
the clot in his leg, he nearly died of
shock. The pressures of office and

his disgrace, some speculated, had
caused him to lose the will-to-live.

Ford's long-awaited amnesty pro-
gram was finally presented. To the
disappointment of the young men it
affected, the proposal was not for
unconditional amnesty. Few men
took advantage of the program.
Most others held to their convictions
that they had done nothing wrong
and would accept nothing less than
complete amnesty without strings.

Sparking off a round of new jokes
and much concern from his fellow
Congressmen, Wilbur Mills, power-
ful Chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, was involved
in a scandel that caused him to be
hospitalized and finally to resign his
Chairmanship. At 2 a.m. in late Oct-
ober, Washington, D.C. police
pulled a car over which had been
maneuvering recklessly. One of the
women in the vehicle jumped into
the Tidal Basin and was fished out
by police. She was identified as
Anabello Bottistella, a striptease
dancer, who worked under the name
Fonne Fox, the Argentine Fire-
cracker. Mills, who apparently ac-
companied her in the car, was
drunk. Fearing the incident could
cause him to lose the November
election which had previously been
"in the bag", he made public apolo-
gies and went back to Arkansas to
campaign contritely. His slogan was
"Never drink champagne with for-
eigners." Mills was reelected handi-
ly. Yet, he later appeared on stage
with Miss Bottistella, who was now
capitalizing on the title. The Tidal
Basin Bombshell. Her sputtering ca-
reer had suddenly flamed; but,
unhappily, at Mill's expense.
Friends, recognizing he was ill,
urged him to go into the hospital for
tests. Upon emerging, Mills made a
public announcement that he was
on alcoholic and planned to undergo
treatment. But by this time the fias-
co hod already cost him his powerful
Chairmanship and stirred his col-
legues' displeasure.

The November 1974 elections
had several interesting aspects to
them. In the woke of the Watergate

issue, liberal Democrats made a
sweep of Congressional and other of-
fices over the country. The attitude
of the freshmen Congressmen was
unlike the traditional one. The new
group felt they had received a man-
date from the people. The result was
that crocks were made in the senior-
ity system in Congress, Their upris-
ing threatened long tenures of com-
mittee Chairmen.

It also became the Year of
Women as Connecticut chose the
first woman governor elected in her
own right. North Carolina elected its
first woman Supreme Court Chief
Justice, and the first woman mayor
to reign over a city of more than
half a million people was elected in
California. Eighteen was the total
number of Congresswomen as
women come out 27% ahead in
number of elected offices previously
held in the nation.

It might have been the Year of
Women in some ways but they still
struggled with ratification of the
Equal Rights Ammendment. Thirty
four states had already approved the
potential 27th Ammendment and
four more were needed, but it looked
like losing battle. The Georgia
Senate defeated it in Febuary after
days of debate and speculation. The
vote was 33-22, a much wider
margin than had been expected.

In Georgia new members of the
legislature which convened in
Jonuary made up one third of both
the House and Senate. Georgia's
new governor, George Busbee, had
previously defeated Lieutenant Gov-
ernor Lester Maddox in the Sep-
tember runoff for the Democratic
nomination. Busbee's opponent was
Republican law-and-order candidate
"Machine Gun" Ronnie Thompson,
mayor of Macon.

Governor Jimmy Carter, Busbee's
predecessor, announced his can-
didacy for the Democratic Presiden-
tial nomination in 1976. Two other
Georgia men tentatively threw their
hats in the Presidential ring, Lester
Maddox, and State Senator Julian
Bond, former civil rights leader.

Senator Edward Kennedy, the last of
the famous brothers, announced he
would not be a 1976 Presidential
candidate.

In spite of trying to get away
from Watergate, the country still
was under its grip. Judge John J.
Sirica released John Dean, Jeb
Magruder, and Herbert Kolmboch
from jail early. They had pled guilty
in the coverup investigation. On
Febuary 3 other Nixon aides, MR.
Holdeman, and John D. Ehrlichman,
along with former Nixon Attorney
General John N. Mitchell were sen-
tenced by Sirica to identical two and
one half to eight year terms for their
ports in the coverup. All were ap-
pealing the sentence.

Inflation, stagflation, recession,
and depression were terms batted
around by politicians and econo-
mists in efforts to explain just what
ailed the country's economy. The
general concensus seemed to lean
toward recession.

Ford proposed his economic pro-
gram, Whip Inflation Now (WIN),
soon after taking office. It consisted
of ten points. The program's at-
tempt to get everyone involved was
a flop. Maybe the nation's mood was
already too pessimistic for the en-
thusiasm to be whipped up.

The January unemployment rate
was 8,2%, the highest total in 33
years. Georgia reached on historical
high of 9.7% unemployment in the
first week in March. Indications
were that the rote was headed for
1 1 % before it peaked. The outlook
for jobs for 1975 graduates ap-
peared the worst since World War
Two. The cost of living index had
the highest annual increase in 28
years, up 12.2%. As a result of the
slump, American Motors, General
Motors, Chrysler, and Ford offered
cash rebates for car purchases to
stimulate sales.

In order to conserve energy. Ford
proposed a $3 per barrel extra tax
on imported oil, distributing the
extra cost evenly over the nation.
This scheme, attacked by the Demo-
cratic Congress, resulted in a Senate
vote for a 90 doy halt on the propos-
al. Ford vetoed the bill but agreed to
withhold the proposal for 60 days
while Congress worked on a plan of
placing a smaller tax on gas which
would rise as the economy improved.

Meanwhile, around the world, oil
consumption was down because of
conservation efforts and mild
winters. The Organization of Petro-
leum Exporting Countries (OPEC)
was forced to consider the lowering
of oil prices to compensate.

The CIA, it was revealed,
allegedly hired the mafia to osas-
sinate Fidel Castro in 1960, before
the Boy of Pigs. The plan was
prevented when officials in the U.S.
government learned of it.

Many famous people died over
the year. Mrs. Martin Luther King,
Sr., mother of the slain civil rights
worker, was asassinoted in Atlanta
during a church service. Other
deaths included General Creighton
W. Abrams, former US. forces com-
mander during the Vietnam war and
Army Chief of Staff; Jack Benny,
comedian; Dizzy Dean, star baseball
pitcher of the 1 930's; former
Supreme Court Chief Justice, Earl
Warren; Cass Elliot, American pop
singer; billionaire oil man, H.L.
Hunt; Charles A. Lindbergh, aviator;
Ed Sullivan, TV variety show host
who introduced The Beatles and
Elvis Presley to America; Juan
Peron, Argentine President; former
UN Secretary General, U Thant; and
etiquette expert. Amy Vonderbuilt.

Interracial violence broke out in
Boston when a court ordered busing
of school children began in on effort
to racially integrate.

In religious news, 1 1 women were
ordained as Episcopal priests in
defiance of church hierarchy.

One half the globe was spanned
in September in a race against time

sance plane. It flew from London to
Los Angeles in a record 3 hours and

In international news, the new
President met with Soviet Chairman
Breshnev in Vladivostok. The two
men agreed to limit the number of
strategic atomic weapons in their re-
spective countries. Ford and Secre-
tary of State Henry Kissinger urged
Congress to give emergency military
aid to Cambodia to prevent its fall
to the Communists. A Congressional
delegation was sent over to inves-
tigate.

In the summer of 1974 fighting
broke out on the island of Cyprus.
Archbishop Makarios was ousted by
a greek-led coup. Turkey invaded

the island in July and wanted to par-
tition it. The fighting between these
two NATO countries came to a
stalemate. Five months after the
island was split Makarios returned
but the stalemate remained.

Another NATO country with new
developments was Portugal. The dic-
tator was overthrown by a leftist
junta who has promised April 1975
elections. The communists seem
strong in the country and the Rus-
sians have been using the Por-
tuguese ports a great deal with
seemingly unlimited access.

The 44 year rule by Emperor
Haile Selassi of Ethiopia ended Sep-
tember 12 when he was deposed by
an Armed Forces Coordination Com-
mittee. Later 59 of his jailed as-
sociates were executed.

While fighting still continued in
the Middle East and Ireland, Ameri-
cans were fighting another enemy,
fat. Everyone was on one diet after
another. The emphasis was on the
slim, tanned, white-toothed, All-
American ideal. Individuality
seemed to lose its' place in the
search for the mass media's manu-
factured image inside oneself. We
were all none too happy with
oursleves nor our country.

The nation's mood was reflected
in the rash of disaster films; "The
Towering Inferno," "Airport 1975"
and "Earthquake." Americans could
not even make up their minds about
fashion. As the economy rose and
fell so did hems. Most college
students preferred comfort to fash-
ion and bluejeans and T-Shirts were
as "down to earth" as they could
get. Still the advertisers plugged
their image and the products needed
to make it come true. Yet for all the
effort, young people made a gallant
effort to hold on to their individu-
ality, and to get away from the dirty
politics, dirty water, dirty air, and
traffic and people jams. Yet, there
was no REAL escape.

Post Office work was Addie Price's regular scholarship job.

Gino Etheridge found time to do needlework while on
Walter's hostess duty

Scholarship Students Work to Fulfill Obligation

"fin

Everyone on scholarship had the experience
at least once of having hostess duty
until midnight followed by Post Office work
the next morning at 8 a.m. These students
worked behind the scenes in every department
and area of organization, typing, filing, and
talking. Once one filled out the seemingly
endless number of forms, she hod to maintain
"respectable" average. Ms. Stapleton was
based in a new office this year, but her little
reminders still found their way to your
mailbox. Spring quarter found anxious girls
wondering if their scholarship would match
the tuition increase, and if they would get to
work in the greenhouse with Mr. Wistrand
again m the fall. Pleasant "employers" were
found everywhere, and you never got fired for
being just a little late. Sometimes, academic
and student service work piled up hove you
ever given a prospective student a tour and
finished five minutes before a midterm? But
for all of the schedule copying, "busy" work,
and putting on a good front when you had a
temperature of 104, there was a certain feel-
ing that never left. You always felt needed,
and that mode it all worthwhile.

Working in the library was how some students fulfilled their service obligations

Almost everyone talked with Ms.

either we hadn't returned a book on

cidentally slipped among our other
texts before 9:30 p.m. The one book
that was VITAL to our paper was
always hidden. Reading was hard, too,
for we table hopped to find a study
lamp that worked. The one thing that
always worked was forbidden the
sacred staff elevator. If caught on it
one felt as big as a page of the TIMES
microfilmed. Also, the library was
a good place to sleep, study, and
quietly (?) Xerox. Yet, we dragged
ourselves away when aroused by the
10:15 chimes. These sent us out into
the cold cruel world each night. Unlike
the professors, the chimes seemed to
forget that "reading maketh a full
man" (or woman).

spent more time in Presser. At any rate, Buttrick was the mecca, for
therein lay most faculty offices. Dean Gary, and THE MAILROOM.

If you were like most girls you averaged three trips a day to see if you
got letter. If you stayed here four years that's about 3,240 trips to the
mailroom not counting just passing through at other times a day. If that
much time was spent on homework, well . . . we'd all have been Phi
Beta Kappa.

The reason most of us were at Scott was, of course, to get an education
and that entailed attending class. Some were boring, some were rowdy,
most were in between. The seats were hard and difficult to sleep in. If
you were right-handed and got stuck with a left-handed desk you may as
well have cut the class for all the legible notes you got. Some classes
were long labs were three hours and some were short 50
minutes, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. After class there was always
studying, research in the library, faculty conferences, and language lab
work. A student's work was never done and holidays were a welcomed
relief with exams finished and no worry about papers due the next day.

"Scott would be fun if we

just been tempted by a group of friends head-
ing for Manuel's. A professor's assignment
kept her from taking advantage of the "cul-
tural" opportunity. Dorm life had its
moments, though. There were nights when
you could sneak away for a P by C pizza or
take advantage of a birthday party on the
hall. Dormmates became close friends.
Together they endured the trials of communal
living, which included noisy pipes in old
dorms, trains at all hours, and scalding or
freezing showers. There was always someone
around for comfort and if you were bored you
could always resort to an intellectural discus-
sion. All nighters were rarely pulled alone,
chances were someone else had mounds of
studying, too. Dorm life was where one,
hopefully, learned tolerence and sharing. It,
not the academics at Scott, is what brought us

Shakespeare's immortal words glare down on
us at each pilgrimage to Letita Pate Evans
Dining Hall. Come rain or shine we all must
share our repast in order to survive the rigors of
studying. In these lean years. Mystery meat
became our main subsistence, rendering unto
our stomachs obnoxious sounds and equally ob-
noxious odors unto our friends. Occassional ly,
digestible meal presented itself and was
greeted with cheers and astonishment. If there
were two edible dinners in a row we were bound
to think the Apocalypse (or exam time) was
near. The thoughtful addition of ice cream
sundaes for special occasions was a real morale
and diet booster. A Henry IV dinner complete
with roost pig and fruit center pieces caught us
completely off guard, especially the
"crowning" touch. The diet fad was rampant,
especially as bikini season neared. "I'm going
on a diet tomorrow" was the watch word as we
filled our faces with the dining hall's famous
cookies. There was certainly food for thought,
and let it never be said we never gave a
thought for food. Despite all the complaints,
Letita Pate never lacked on audience.

Office

Of The

President

Morvin Banks Perry, Jr., fourth president of the college, was always available to the students, either for
formal appointment, or just to chat.

A new year brought more things to be done, changes to be
made. Yet Agnes Scott still held to traditions. Dr. Marvin B.
Perry's first year was successful and many physical changes
were made on the campus new lights, signs, and air condi-
tioning of some buildings. Also, decisions had to be made
about other areas of Agnes Scott life. A steering committee
was appointed late in fall quarter to discuss some of these
needs which included student-faculty relations, academic
needs, and plans for the future. The committee was repre-
sentative of students, faculty, alumnae, trustees, and ad-
ministrators.

Dr. Perry and Dr. Henderson, Vice-President in Charge of Business,
discussed some new plans for Agnes Scott while on their way to
lunch in the Dining Hall.

Dr. Perry and Dr. Joseph M. Pettit, President of Georgia Tech, got
a big kick out of the antics of the Scotties during the Orientation

Dr. Perry often led both formal and informal Convocations. At Honors Day the faculty marched in oc
demic procession.

In his book-lined office, Dr. Perry took time between appoint-
ments to read his mail.

Bertie Bond, administrative assistant and secretary to the President, and secretary to
the Board of Trustees, was always ready with a smile or a witty word. Her condy jar
was well-known around Scott.

Julia T. Gary, Decn of the Faculty, counseled the students m then
problems. She was especially busy during registration, helping junior;
and seniors with their course ond schedule changes.

Office of the
Dean of Faculty

The Dean of Faculty's office tried to make sure that
the students were free of any problems. Assisting Dean
Gary this year was newcomer Gue Hudson. Both were
busy with the students' problems and questions, but
still managed to keep their cheerful attitudes.

Gue P. Hudson, the new Assistant Dean of Faculty, was not a newcomer
to Agnes Scott. Dean Hudson, a graduate of ASC, specialized in coun-
seling freshmen and sophomores.

Connie Henderson, a graduate of Randolph Macon, served as an adminis-
trative intern in the Dean of Foculty's office. She was a porticipant in a
new program to train women for college administrative careers.

The Dean of Students' office took care of
all student needs other than academics.
Under the leadership of the new dean, Martha
C. Huntington, the office helped with dorm
life, worked with Rep Council, assisted with
plans for Investiture, Sophomore Parent's
Weekend, Junior Jaunt, and Graduation, in
addition to dealing with countless other indi-
vidual student needs.

Mrs. Huntington came to Agnes Scott from Washington, D.C. A widow, Mrs. Hunt-
ington brought her two sons with her to Decatur. Her daughter remained in Washing-
ton to finish her senior year in high school. Dean Huntington brought a wonderful
willingness to plan and work with students to her new job.

Mollie Merrick, Assistant Dean of Students directed freshman orien-
tation and was Black Cot advisor. Below: Joan W. Davis, Secretary m
the Office of Student Services was busy with the many students who
visited the office for help. Mary Lindig, Secretary to the Dean of
Students was m charge of the college calender.

Mollie Merrick handled any problems that new students hod and she was
in charge of dorm assignments.

lone Murphy, Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Career
Planning was constantly at work trying to place seniors in suitable
jobs.

Senior Residents were very important people to 1
the students who lived in dorms. They were I
frequently faced with questions and problems by -
the girls. Their constant work and cheerful atti-
tudes were much appreciated.

Senior Residents were Foye Porks in Walters, Sidney Kerr in Wmship, ond Con-
cepcion Leon in Inmon.

Other senior residents were Roberta Sullivan in

Office of
Public Relations

The Office of Public Relations tried to make
sure that the community knew what was hap-
pening at Agnes Scott. This office also saw that
our hometown papers knew what we were doing
while away at college. They directed any filming
or news coverage about Agnes Scott, and
published the weekly calender. A most important
function of the office was coordinating summer
conference programs on campus.

Dr. Edward McNair, Director of Public Relations, had the information anyone

needed at his fingertips. He knew what was going on at Agnes Scott, and saw I

that it was well published in the community. He also helped with the Alumnae i

Club Bazaar at Phipps' Plaza which included the ASC exhibit that was shown ear- |

lier at Lenox Square. j

Andrea Helms, left, was news director for the College. She took care of news releases to the papers, plus she often was seen

track of all the keys to the dorms and the furniture in
them. They also arranged for us to store our trunks during
summer vacation.

Library

Whenever noisy dorms got you down, you knew that
you could always go to the library for quiet study. Their
books were necessities when you had to write a paper.
The staff was helpful when it came to finding that obs-
cure reference your professor told you about. You could
even sleep on the couch if you were tired.

Those working in the library were Janet Sanders, Miriam Merritt, Sally
Thompson, technical services assistants, Ann Lathrup, reserve librarian;
and Mildred Walker, secretary to the Librarian.

Our always helpful library staff included Lillian Newman, Associate
Librarian; Bess Ginn, Periodicals Reference Librarian; Dawn
Lomade, Technical Services Librarian; Mary Carter, Assistant Refer-
ence Librarian; and Dale Luchsinger, Librarian.

Infirmary

aches, pneumonia, nervous breakdowns, and broken
hearts'' The one and only infirmaryl They were always
willing to prescribe an aspirin or just listen to a problem.

Margaret Copple was one of our nurses and Dr. Rosemond Peltz sow us
between 8 and 9 o'clock each morning. Elsie Boyer, not pictured, was olso
a nurse in the infirmary. Gynocologists were Dr. Malcolm Freeman and
Dr. Armond Hendee. Clair Kirkpatrick, right, was the new nurse this year.

Dr. Irene Phrydas was the consulting Psychiatrist.

interest in athletic and recreational activities
among students with a desire to create spirit,
encourage good sportsmanship, and develop
physical fitness. This year they coordinated
intromurals on the campus. A. A. also tried to
promote intercollegiate sports and joined the
Georgia Association for Intercollegiate Activi-
ties. Aside from revising their constitution,
A. A. sponsored a winter blood drive and
bought new bikes for the campus and repaired

cessful for the Agnes Scott Glee Club. Each year the
Club gave a Christmas concert and Spring Concert on
campus and several concerts in the Atlanta area. This
year the fifty members participated in more combined
concerts with such universities as Davidson and
Gerogia Tech. During the summer the Club planned
to tour Europe with the Viennese Symposium.

tend the 1975 Viennese Sym-
posium.

ganized their own concerts
and chose their own
directors. The nine
members performed aco-
peila and sang at many
campus functions and in
the Atlanta area as well.

tection. Automobile Mechanics, and a Seminar in Fi-
nance. The Board also sponsored the annual Holiday
Party and assisted Mortar Board with Black Cat fes-
tivities.

sponsored by her board.

Students discussed the agendo while waiting for the BSA finance
seminor to begin. The seminar entitled "What Every Womon Doesn't
Know" ran for three nights and covered taxes, insurance, loans, and
property rights.

Social functions on and off campus
were on integral part of college life,
and Social Council provided opportu-
nities for such functions. Each year its
members, elected by the students,
sponsored several dances, one each
quarter. They also made possible such
activities as skating parties, mixers,
and in cooperation with Tech, they
provided opportunities for Scotties to
attend various social functions at
Tech.

Virginia Parker, Social Council President, was able to relax and
enjoy the Block Cat Dance after weeks of hard work and plan-

Bill Deal and the Rondells provided a variety of music for the Black
Cat Dance, October 26, at the Marriott Motor Hotel.

become acquainted with Agnes Scott. The council
is made up of seven members. Their work actually
began the spring before, continued through the
summer, and climaxed in the fall when the
freshmen arrived. The council was responsible for
the viewbook, which contained the pictures of the
freshmen and transfer students, and the new
students' calendar of activities. They also ar-
ranged the Liberal Arts Orientation and Study
Panel, the library tours, the street dance, and
group trip to the Tech-Notre Dame game, and the
Rush Mixer. Orientation Council began in-
troducing Agnes Scott to freshmen in the summer.
Orientation groups of four freshmen. Sophomore
Helpers and Junior Sponsors were organized.
When the freshmen arrived on September 8 Orien-
tation Council members were in the Hub to wel-
come them and their parents. The following morn-
ing they sponsored a

Honor Court

Life at Agnes Scott is based on the Honor system and
functions through the Honor Code. When the code is
broken, it is the Honor Court's duty to judge the offense
and give a penalty. Members serving on Honor Court
are elected by the student body. Honor Court presented
a mock case during a class meeting in September to let
freshmen know about its work and to foster a better
communication between the judicial body and the
students.

nterdorm

Interdormitory Council is an elected body
and the second rung on the ladder of student
government. Its functions are to coordinate
activities of the various dorms and cottages,
to provide communication between the dorms
and the Dean's staff, and to hear cases and
appeals from the Dormitory Councils that di-
rectly concern dorm life. During Orientation
week Interdorm sponsored a sale of used bed-
spreads, curtains, books, and other articles.
They sold stationery during fall quarter to
raise funds and sponsored Deck-Your Dorm
contest. This gave students a chance to clean
up and decorate their rooms to vie for prizes
for the best rooms in each dorm.

In spite of her positron, Ann Fincher, Spirit Committee Chairman, got down m the dumps
when she hod a lot of work to do. Her job was to remedy the blohs for the whole campus.

Spirit Committee

Spirit Committee was created in 1971
iri order to "promote a spirit of happiness
and enthusiasm throughout the Agnes
Scott community." The desire for such a
spirit of happiness motivated Spirit Com-
mittee to award the annual spirit trophy
as both reward and initiative for "getting
the spirit." The junior class won the award
this year. Spirit Committee also organized
fall Festival featuring boiled peanuts,
dried flowers, apples, pumpkins, indion
corn, hot cider, candy, and pottery done
by Agnes Scott students. The items were
things students might have found in a trip
to the mountains since the students
didn't move to the mountains, the moun-
tains moved to the students. Spirit Com-
mittee also encouraged the appearance of
the Great Pumpkin, the patron deity of
Halloween. Other Spirit Committee tradi-
tions included the Valentines for the
campus, and annual Founder's Day
Dinner. This dinner, with Dr. McNoir as
speaker, was "formal;" however, the term
didn't exclude such evening attire as jeans
under gowns or tennis shoe evening
slippers.

College for women

Most of us at Agnes Scott are familiar with the concept
of the liberal arts the origin of the notion of the liberal
education beginning with the Greeks, its perpetuation in
the medieval universities through the College of Arts and
Sciences, and the real impetus received from the Renais-
sance with its emphasis on the education which "equips
and perfects."

Though we have spoken of it less in the past few years,
it is also significant that we are a college for women. The
particular quality of the liberal arts college for women can
best be understood in terms of metaphor. Plato, in THE
REPUBLIC, points to the special relationship between the
eye, the object seen and the light of the sun which illumi-
nates both the eye and object. He writes that the power of
vision in the eyes and color in the objects are still depen-
dent upon light. Coming from the Sun, "this light is not
vision, but it is the cause of it.

A woman's college has much the same function for the
young woman as the Sun has for the eye and the object.
The eye is the mind, the liberal arts are the object to be
perceived, and the college exists to provide the peculiar
and particular environment which fosters the development
of the inquiring mind. At Agnes Scott, women do it all;
they are presidents as well as the secretaries in student
government, the editors of publications as well as the typ-
ists for them. Each student is able to see successful women
as professors and department chairpersons instead of just
lecturers and instructors, the case in many male-dominated
"co-educational" institutions. Further, many students learn
for the first time how to bond with other women and form
meaningful relationships with them, an experience lacking
in society where a woman often finds her friends among
the wives of her husband's business associates.

In THE REPUBLIC, Plato completes his argument by
saying, "You will agree that the Sun not only makes things
we see visible, but also brings them into existence and
gives them growth and nourishment." The woman's liberal
arts college stands in the same relationship to a student;
the college enables a young woman to grow.

Joyce McKee, editor

To the editor:

Although members of the English department planned
the Robert Frost Centennial Celebration, its success was
the result of the enthusiastic support and participation of
the entire campus, which took the Celebration unto itself
and, in Dr. Alston's words, folded it into the College.
Your Robert Frost Centennial Edition of the PROFILE was
an appropriate introduction to the two exciting days of
the Celebration, and you are to be commended for the
splendid lay-out and precise editing, the fine presentation
of the program of events by Patty Pearson, and the inter-
esting interviews by you and your staff with Dr. Alston
and Mr. Ferdinand Warren ....

Our distinguished participants Mr. Brooks, Mr.
Wilbur, Mr. and Mrs. Morrison, and Dr. Alston all told
me they had never had a more delightful two days, and
they particularly enjoyed the times they spent with
students even getting up for early breakfasts! . Mr.
Wilbur wrote last week; "That was a delightful visit. It is
perfectly mad to rush off to Georgia between Milton
classes, but I so enjoyed it all that I came home in-
vigorated rather than tired."

... I would like to quote part of a letter from Prof.
Bagby of Hampden-Sydney College . . .: "Particularly for
a school of your (or our) size, such a program was no
small accomplishment. The physical facilities of the
College; the student participation in and attendance at
the program; the general attitude of the College toward
poetry and poets all left me impressed and, I must
confess, a little envious ... I suspect that Frost himself
would have enjoyed it."

SILHOUETTE '75

: <v> !

They always tell you, but, somehow you never quite
believe the yearbook will come out, especially if you're
responsible for it.

Work on the 1975 SILHOUETTE started the summer
of 1974 when the editor went to a Ohio University
workshop conducted by specialists in yearbook layout,
design, photography, and managment.

When the staff started work in the fall every effort
was made to depict Tradition and Change at Agnes
Scott in a wide variety of ways. The object; to produce
a unique yearbook, a volume that would accurately
reflect the events of the 1974-75 school year. Despite
many setbacks, expected and unexpected, the staff
contributed all their time and talent. This sometimes
necessitated sacrificing sleep, dates, schoolwork, and
trips to Manuel's.

Spring quarter was anxiously awaited because all
deadlines were met by then. The staff looked forward
to the finished product that was distributed before
spring quarter exams began.

Rep Counci

Representative Council acts as the legislative body of
the Student Government Association. It is made up of four
elected members from each class, in addition to the Pres-
ident, Vice-President, Secretory, Treasurer, Day Student
Chairman and two Advisory members. Weekly meetings
resulted in several policy changes as well as the introduc-
tion of new ones throughout the academic year. This year
the council was especially concerned with revising the
Judicial Council, revamping the drinking policy, reor-
ganizing committees and drawing up the Student Govern-
ment budget.

Paying close attention to all that went on in weel^ly Rep meeting
was the best way to keep up with changes on campus. Main Dorr
representative, Helen DeWitt, found this out.

together formed the Lecture
Committee. The cooperative
group arranged a wide variety
of cultural activities on

tures as well. The club tried to
schedule three to four major
events each year. Their efforts
resulted in a performance by
the Guarneri String Quartet
concert in the fall, the produc-
tion of HENRY IV, PART I by
the National Players during
winter quarter, and the

Dear People,

I've been worried for days about what to say when
It came time to write this. I even went so far as to
look at other editors' comments. The only conclusion I
come to was that each one of them viewed the experi-
ence of editing their books differently.

Although it's been apparent since I took on this job
almost a year ago, it suddenly struck me that Agnes
Scott is so packed with events, people, and impres-
sions in one single year that it would have been im-
possible for me to capture all of them, try as I might.
I made a valiant effort, as the staff will testify. Yet,
even now, I think of many things left unwritten, and
countless pictures never taken.

It is now 1 ;03 a.m., March 1 4, 1 975. It is senseless
to attempt to write one piece that says all I need to.
The whole book should stand as a stotement, both the
staff's and mine. It should be enjoyed as it was con-
ceived, as an entity. I am fond of saying, "This year-
book will probably have more impact on us as we look
back twenty years from now."

The only thing I feel compelled to explain is the
use of "God of the Marching Centuries" in the
opening and closing sections. We hove all sung it so
often that it becomes a part of our experience here. It
reflects, what I hope this book does, that Scott's tradi-
tion is important to her, but that she does change,
however slowly. We have attempted to mirror the
dichotomy between tradition and change.

This yearbook is a unique one for Scott. I hope you
will all see it as a change for the better. This is my
porting gift to each one of you.

I must especially thank Margaret, Frances, Lucy,
and Joel, without whom I wouldn't have made it.

Just me Beth
P.S. To quote Mark Twain, ". . . and so there ain't
nothing more to write about, and I am rotten glad of
it, because if I'd a knowed what a trouble it was to
make o book I wouldn't a tackled it and I ain't agoing
to no more."
