In a world that is rapidly
changing, few things remain
constant. Agnes Scott College,
however, maintains many
traditions from afternoon
teas to Senior Investiture. Scott
attracts young women who are
seeking an above-average
college education and who are
prepared to face, if necessary, a
disciplined life.

Students at Scott not only
agree on their viewpoints
concerning education, but the
small size of the campus serves
to unite the student body on
many issues. The variety of
women who attend Scott
provides the diversity which is
necessary for a unique
community. Personalities range
from the crowd-gathering
extroverts to the seldom-
noticed introverts. Characters
vary from political activists to
reclusive intellectuals. Whatever
the case, the woman who
attends Scott does not conform
to, but relates to, her peers.

A Scottie, by definition, is a
poised, self-assured young
woman who has the ability to
destroy any obstacle which
blocks her success. The theory
is good; unfortunately, it does
not always hold true. Despite
their stereotypes, Scott girls
have active social lives which
balance with their careers as
diligent students.

Moe's and Joe's, Georgia
Tech fraternities, and quarterly
formals are terms which are
well-known to Agnes Scott
students. This is not to say,
however, that Scotties' lives are
all fun and games. There is a
fine line which needs to be,
and is, drawn individually as a
student makes her decision
concerning the extent of her
social life. The choice a student
makes must provide a
harmonious balance of all the
aspects of her life at Scott.

Coined Admissions Office
phrases provide a prospective
student with a non-descriptive
view/ of Agnes Scott. The
student who delves further into
brochures and who makes
journeys to the campus gets a
broader view of the school;
however, even the most well-
prepared brochure can never
completely define life at Agnes
Scott.

The first time a student walks
on campus, she begins
formulating a response which
she will always remember and
will probably look back on with
laughter or even tears at
her misconception. No one can
ever fully realize the effect of
Scott life on a student. Changes
occur which may or may not be
expected.

Various aspects of life are
touched and transformed at
Scott. One may decide that the
partying life is for her and she
may pursue it with great fervor.
On the other hand, a different
student will work diligently,
exercising a degree of self-
control. Viewpoints and
attitudes grow as the weeks
pass, and no one knows this
change better than the fall
quarter Freshman! English 101,
mandatory P.E., midterms, finals,
and dorm life are subjects of an
almost endless list which
prevails in a Freshman's mind.
Emotions play an important role
in that they involve subjects
which are sometimes depressing
homesickness, back-home
honeys, and the dreaded
grades. First quarter freshmen
live the most supervised lives,
but one does not remain a first
quarter freshman forever.

Sophistication and self-
awareness are processes each
student must undergo to
achieve full stature as an
accepted peer. Reversion to
knee-socks and loafers is all
part of collegiate prestige.
Mannerisms and senses of
humor play important roles in
college life. A look into
collegiate sophistication reveals
acceptance of individuality with
a small dosage of social
conformity. How many girls do
not own a pair of topsiders?
there have to be at least two or
three on campus!

The young woman who
reflects on her place at Scott
and does not like what she sees
is the same woman who leaves
Scott. Those who remain have
the freedom to develop into
the women they wish to
become. Growth, expansion,
and change are all parts of the
metamorphosis within a
person's soul and mind. The
years spent at Scott force a
great deal of change, and the
eighteen year old who arrived
with eager anticipation mellows
into a stable young woman who
hopes to make a difference in
the world.

Family ties are stronger as a
result of maturity, and the clan
of friends at home has
dwindled to a few intimate
companions. Parents are
understood and deeply
appreciated as a result of their
friendship and a new
relationship built on
confidence. Although a Scottie
is well acquainted with her
fellow classmates, her close
friends are few and dear.

In the beginning, she had
expected so much of college
life. Reality was perhaps a far
cry from these ideals. As the
girl advanced through her years
at Scott, she grew into a fine
woman, strong of mind and
confident in spirit. The growth
pains experienced over this
time seem far away, as if they
never existed. She has matured
in the warmth and loving care
of Agnes Scott, and her
metamorphosis is shared by
every other woman in her class.
She has come a long way from
her first days at Scott. Ideas and
feelings have changed and
fluctuated until she is ready to
leave the security of Scott and
venture into the outside world.
At long last, she is a young
adult ready to face life's
challenges and soar to her
highest potential.

In the Quad, the squirrels
and chipmunks rushed around
the trees looking for nuts. The
pigeons cooing softly provided
a background for conversation
between students walking by
the flagpole, on the way to the
Hub. The sidewalks in the Quad
pointed in every direction.
Students stretched out on the
grass to read. Cars drove quietly
by.

Beyond the Quad were the
academic buildings. The solemn

stone walls belied the transfer
of facts and ideas which went
on inside. Muted shouts from
the hockey field indicated a
game in progress. A couple sat
in the amphitheater, talking
quietly, oblivious to the hockey
game behind them. The newly
surfaced tennis courts were
dotted with white figures. The
path up to the observatory,
whose dome rose above the
trees, seemed short and
welcoming in the daylight. A

professor walked down the
road to his house on the next
block.

Students walking from labs in
Campbell and Dana, after
checking their mailboxes in
Buttrick, were joined by others
from the library and dorms as
they headed towards the dining
hall for dinner. After the meal
students once again scattered
to all parts of campus for
meetings, studying or playing.

In a school that has been gradually
added to over the years, such as
Agnes Scott, there are many unusual
and often unnoticed things on
campus. Some are known only to
students living in a particular dorm,
while others are in full view of anyone
who has the time to notice.

Each dorm has at least one unique
point about it. A Walters girl is
informed she has a phone call or guest
in the lobby by means of the buzzer
system in that dorm. For the first time
a man is living in a dorm Winship.
Mrs. Goldsby, his wife, is the senior
resident of the dorm, making him the
"dorm father." The only locked dorm,
Hopkins, has an outside phone so

CAMPUS
CURIOSITIES

visitors can call to have someone let
them in the dorm. Inman has no
men's bathroom. The tower in Main,
supposedly locked at all times, has
names and dates written on the walls.
Rebekah has a fire escape outside the
dorm which is not used in fire drills. It
is a favorite spot for group pictures
and daring Rebekah residents.

A person familiar with all parts of
the campus probably knows that under
the steps in front of the Health Center
is a fountain. The golf classes use the
sandbox on the east side of the gym
to practice blasting out of the sand
trap. The Meditation Chapel between
Rebekah and McDonough Road
provides a quiet place to study.

All these unusual aspects of the
campus serve to make Agnes Scott
even more special to the students and
faculty.

The college year was usually a

time of constant movement.

Students were always trying to

juggle classes, studying, and

meetings, and still fit in time to

enjoy the beauty of nature.

Sometimes this involved no more

than noticing the azaleas in bloom

on campus or admiring the

autumn leaves while driving along

the Perimeter. Places such as Lake

Lanier, Stone Mountain, Callaway

Gardens, and the north Georgia

Mountains were close enough for

weekend trips. Camping out was a

favorite way to enjoy these spots,

so that the Atlanta area provided

the perfect setting for

appreciation of nature as well as

Georgia Tech and Emory
offered Scott girls the most
popular social outlet. It was not
unusual to see girls from Agnes
Scott on either campus at any
time.

By simply walking down
Fraternity row, girls could meet
Emory students. People
gathered at Everybody's, Good
Ol' Days and Jagger's. Tuesday
night at P.J. Haley's had become
a ritual for many students. If
you were ingenious enough to
work your way into the Medical
School's Library, you might
strike up a conversation with an
"Emoroid." Stopping by the

Student Center for frozen
Yogurt was also common.
Dooley Days in the spring
brought Scott students to
Emory in droves.

On any weekend, Scott girls
could be found in every
fraternity house at Tech. They
also went to the library, the
Student Center and the sports
activities. Greek Week drew
Scott girls in the spring.

Overlooking the calculator on
the belt or the law school
glasses, Tech and Emory
students could become really
good friends.

NEVER

Sitting in Grant Field, sweltering
under the sun in a wool suit, getting
kicked by the drunk behind you,
being doused with Coca-Cola and
having your date scream in your ear
. . . sound like fun?? That depends
on how much Bourbon you drink as
you watch those Wrecks ramble on
the field. Tech football games. An
intregal part of freshman
orientation. Tech football games. At
least once with a blind date. Tech
football games. A necessary evil to
get to the Fraternity parties
afterwards.

Fraternity parties are something
else. Whether you are drinking from
a keg, a garbage can, or a bottle,
you will probably drink a lot. Then
you may find yourself doing all
those things your mother told you
not to do, ever. Like gatoring. Like
passing out. Like singing obscene
cheers. Oh, it is possible to behave
at a fraternity party. But it is not
very probable. There's something
about a room full of future
engineers or future lawyers, who
decide to "unwind" on a weekend.

Some of the rituals of the
different fraternities are unusual and
there is always the sense that
everyone in the fraternity has heard
about you from your date. But it is a
side of life that we cannot get at
Scott, so we must travel to Tech or
Emory. Fraternity parties can be
terrific. They provide a good
opportunity to relax, to socialize and
to get off campus. They are
definitely part of life at Scott and
we all love to go.

ATLANTA

PUT SOME LIFE IN YOUR LIFE!

Atlanta, a combination of
cosmopolitan and small town
airs, spreads out over the
horizon of north Georgia. It is
very much a city of variety and
change. The capitol of Georgia,
Atlanta is also the political and
social center of the southeast,
drawing people from all areas
and backgrounds. Entertainment
suitable to any taste can be
found. The "sights to see"
range from the almost new
Peachtree Plaza Hotel to
centuries old Stone Mountain.
The nightlife from dining to
dancing, is still growing and
diversifying. Concerts by both
rock groups and classical
musicians are available year
round. For families, there are
many parks, as well as Six Flags,
the circus, and the state fair.
The Braves, Falcons, Hawks, and
Flames offer sports events year
round. Of course, to get the
active Atlantan to all these
places and happenings, are
MARTA and all the highways

from the "downtown
connectors" to the Perimeter.

On a given night of the year,
the Civic Center can be filled
with Linda Ronstadt fans for a
concert, while another group
watches hockey in the Omni. In
another part of town, the
Atlanta Ballet is performing and
a family has a cookout at Stone
Mountain. In between these,
the bars, night-clubs, and
restaurants feed and entertain
another group of Atlantans.
Atlanta definitely a city of
diverse entertainments.

THAT'S LIFE/23

ATLANTA

The name "Atlanta" brings
varied images to mind. The city
is known for many of its
features some very old and
some relatively new. Since its
beginning in the late
nineteenth century, Coca-Cola
has been owned by an Atlanta
family and has been based in
Atlanta. The Fox Theater, one
of the city's oldest landmarks,
has been popular with both
visitors and Atlanta inhabitants
for many years.

But today Atlanta is known
mainly for its more recent
additions. Hartsfield
International Airport, the
second busiest airport in the
country, is all of Atlanta that
many people making
connections see. But those who
stay for a while most likely visit
the tourist attractions. The
Regency-Hyatt Hotel, with the
blue bubble on top has long
been the most popular hotel.
Now it is rivaled by the
seventy-three storied Peachtree
Plaza Hotel. Underground
Atlanta, a restored area of old
Atlanta, in recent years has
been less popular for natives

THE REAL THING

and is now visited primarily by
tourists.

Two sports arenas Atlanta
Fulton Stadium and the Omni,
are the homes of the city's
professional sports teams.
Baseball in the spring and
summer and football in the fall
and winter are played at the
stadium. The Omni not only has
the basketball and ice hockey
courts, but a hotel, many shops
and several restaurants under its
roof. Also in sports, Atlanta is
the site of a specific event
the Peach Bowl. College
football teams play in this
invitational game each year
during the Christmas holidays.
Recently Ted Turner, the
owner of the Braves and Hawks,
has brought Atlanta attention
with his flamboyant style.

The city of Atlanta is coming
to be known by more and
more people. The 1976
presidential campaign and
subsequent election of
Georgian Jimmy Carter focused
much attention on the city as
the capitol of Georgia. As the city
grows so does the list of Atlanta
symbols.

When football games, Moe's
and Joe's, or fraternity parties
became monotonous, there was
another more refined side to
life in the big city. Atlanta
offered a variety of things to do
and places to see for the
Scottie who was "working on
becoming cultured." The Fox
Theater billed the Atlanta
Opera Company, Atlanta Ballet,
along with many different guest
performers, symphonies, and
concerts during the year.
Exploring the historic building
was always exciting and many
Scott students enjoyed ushering
there. Any Scottie with a
flashlight could get her culture
free of charge by ushering at

the Fox or Civic Center.

The Alliance Theatre and the
High Museum of the Atlanta Arts
Center provided culture in other
forms. The Atlanta Symphony,
conducted by Robert Shaw,
performed at the Arts Center
regularly, and the
Alliance Theater Company
presented a variety of
outstanding plays during the
year, with special rates for
students. The High Museum
always featured fascinating
exhibits and lectures by
prominent artists. And if
someone was in the mood for
an old movie, week-end-long
film festivals of favorite flicks
were frequently offered.

It was common knowledge
that Scott girls did -not drink,
but, as of late, there has been a
rumor circulating that
occasionally a Scottie did
imbibe. Since the only form of
alcohol allowed on campus was
rubbing, the alternative was to
seek a drinking establishment
loosely translated a bar.

One of the many nice things
about Atlanta was no matter
what the mood was, for beer or
scotch, Levi's or a dress, there
was always a suitable
atmosphere.

If someone planned a ritzy
evening, Alexander's Eagle was

a cozy, quiet place where
prime rib could be had with a
drink. Though the atmosphere
was expensive, the drinks were
not.

If people were more
important than atmosphere,
there were other places to go.
P.J. Haley's was the spot to
meet nice Emory guys. P.J.
Haley's resembled an English
pub and was always packed on
Wednesday nights.

Every Thursday at midnight,
Friday's celebrated New Year's
Eve, complete with horns, hats
and half price drinks.

Since Thursday was a popular
night to go out, Scotties could be
found in several different bars. So
if it was Thursday night and the
studying for the week was done,
there were quite a few places to
go for beer.

If a girl wanted some oysters
with her beer, she can go to
Manuel's Tavern where Scotties
are infamous or whatever it is
called when we Scotties make the
menu. They have dark and light
beer, a constantly blaring TV.,
expensive sandwiches, and a game
room filled with Beta's and Fiji's.

Another gorup of Scotties could
be found in their button downs
and topsiders, heading for Moe's
and Joe's. There they found bowls

of boiled peanuts, formica top
tables, and Horace who is
always happy to pour a beer.
Thursdays the aisles were
impassible and tables at a premium.

For the great escape from
Sunday supper, Everybody's
offered terrific pizza, good beer, and
slow service. So whether the
aim is to meet guys, just get off
campus, drown sorrows, or actually
quinch a thirst, there were plenty
of places around to do it and
Scotties probably found them all!

THAT'S LIFE/31

when Hunger Strikes

As the "average Scottie"

worked diligently on her term

paper, due (of course) the next

day, about midnight she

became aware of a terrible

gnawing hunger. The munchies

had struck. There was only one

cure a midnight run for

food.

One popular stop was the

grocery store still open at 12

(or 2 a.m.). Valuable time was

inevitably lost as girls wandered

down aisles trying to decide

between fresh fruit, pretzels,

peanut butter, cheese, ice

cream, M&M's, chocolate mint

cookies, or nuts. The Shopping

cart usually ended up with at

least four or five goodies, and

of course, the trip wouldn't be

complete without several liter

bottles of Tab.

There were other ways to

cure the midnight munchies.

The most famous stop was KK-

Krispy Kreme. Scotties could

find their way there no matter

how dark, how cold, how rainy,

or how late it was. It was very

doubtful that any Agnes Scott

student had stopped at KK

during daylight hours.

A good place to stop and eat

was International House of

Pancakes (IHOP). IHOP was

especially popular at exam

times. If the munchies struck

and the group had no

transportation to take them to

the food, the food came to

them in the form of sent out

pizzas and submarine

sandwiches.

When the munchies had

finally been appeased the

"average Scottie" went back to

work to try to cope with her

paper and her upset stomach.

"Morning Glory!"

^i->l ,M^-^^-^4

The alarm clock clicked on at
7:45 AM and buzzed merrily until
Deb, with one practiced swing of
her hand, shut it off. She did
not even roll over.

Meanwhile, her roommate was
at the desk cramming for an
English test. Her eyes were red
and bleary from more than study.
It was Friday morning, which
meant that last night it was
Thursday and THAT meant Moe's
and Joe's. Last night it had not
mattered that she had a test at
8:30 the next morning and would
therefore have to pull an all-
nighter after drinking all that
beer. This morning, it mattered.

At 7:50, the alarm once again
started buzzing, and Deb, with a
sign of life this time (a faint
moan rose from the blankets),
turned it off once again. Deb
half-heartedly contemplated
getting up and beating the rush
to the bathroom. Already, there
was a shower running and a couple
hair dryers were on in the hall.

While under her blankets.
Deb heard a knock on the door and
shouted "Come in!" Lowering the
covers, she saw Cheryl in the
doorway. As usual, Cheryl was
nicely dressed and wore make-up
and it was not EVEN 8:00! "Are
y'all ready for breakfast?" she
chirped. Deb pulled the covers
back up in silent reply, her
roommate growled and Cheryl left
for the dining hall alone again.

7:55: The alarm tried once
more to do its job. Deb debated
whether to throw it against the
wall or get up. Finally, she
crawled out of bed and headed to
the bathroom. As she looked at
herself in the mirror and prayed
that she did not look as bad as
her sleepy eyes told her she did,
Deb wondered how Miss McKemie
felt in the morning.

"Morning glory!" my eye!

Dr. Barton, in moving to Atlanta, finds himself
in an environment different from those he had exper-

while Atlanta, in his opinion, tends to be more com-

See America" would generally be a great motto
for American travelers, but for history pro-
fessor Penelope Campbell it should be "See
the Entire World." Miss Campbell enjoys traveling
to Europe and particularly to Asia and Africa.
When asked how many times she had visited Europe,
Miss Campbell said she didn't know. Then she began
to count her trips. She has recently been to India
three times with study groups and to Africa twice
on her own. Miss Campbell enjoys studying the his-

tory and the culture of each place she visits. She
also likes to talk with natives of each country.

In December, Miss Campbell presented her paper on

Sandra Bowden, Botany professor in the biology
department, is fascinated by more than just
photosynthesis! She admits that because of poor
lighting in her home, she does not even have many
plants. Of course, some of her many interests do
center around the outdoors, which she learned to
love while growing up in Thomasville, Georgia. Al-
though her husband was not a biology major, by
driving for her field trips after they were married
he learned some things about her area of graduate

study. They now enjoy birding, focusing on wading

and shore birds; gardening; and studying rare or

endangered species of plants and animals on their

property near the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Besides being interested in the outdoors, Mrs.

Bowden delights in sewing, cooking, entertaining, and

her piano lessons. The main reason for her interest

in the piano is her fourteen month old son, David.

She hopes that through her, he will learn to enjoy

music and will want to play the piano himself.

John Tumblin not only loves teaching anthropo-
logy, but he also enjoys fiddling with any mechani-
cal gadget he can find. That love surfaces in his
antique Cessna 17B airplane. He rebuilt the engine
of the plane, and someday he plans to build his own
airplane. In piloting the plane he has won many
awards, including the "Spit and Polish" Award. Dr.
Tumblin also enjoys kayaking every Thanksgiving he
paddles across the Okeefenokee Swamp. Another of
his hobbies, both aesthetic and mechanical.

is photography. The results of this hobby prove to
be useful in his classes. In the future, Dr. Tumblin
plans to bring his skills in flying, camping, and pho-
tography together in a study of cultural geography.
He will travel up the Mississippi River, to the Mis-
souri River, and end up somewhere in the Northwest.
A pictorial account will be the result of the trip.
Dr. Tumblin lives his philosophy of life, which is not
to become so patterned in any area that he will be
closed to new ideas and new ways of doing things.

"Oecause of my commitment to myself to enjoy
Deach day to its fullest, it is necessary for me to
surround myself with many different types of chal-
lenging stimulation." This is how Ann McConnell
sums up her life. In view of this statement, it is not so
surprising that she ended up buying a Chinese junk
when she and a friend went to Florida to buy a
sailboat. She keeps the junk on Lake Lanier. The boat
was made in Hong Kong and shipped to Lake Lanier,
where Ms. McConnell found it. It is 36 feet long,
solid teak, and weighs 12 tons. The junk wasn't for
sale, but she and her friend were so in love with it
that they made the owners an offer which they ac-
cepted. She lived and worked on the boat last sum-
mer, and says after that experience "I have the satis-
faction of knowing that I was able, at the age of
thirty, to accomplish a strenuous physical task pre-
viously foreign to me." She will sell the boat some-
day because "\ do not feel that I own the boat, but
rather that it has chosen to be with me for a time,
and that the time will come for someone else to
enjoy the charm and spirit of the Red Dragon of
Harmony."

LAURA MAYES STEELE

Laura Mayes Steele came to Agnes Scott as a fresh-
man with the class of 1937, having graduated from Girls
High School in Atlanta. She was an outstanding student
and a campus leader, graduating as a history major with
high honor, in June 1937. The nation especially the
South was in the depths of the Depression still, and
when President James Ross McCain offered a job that
Fall of 1937, Laura Steele took it gratefully and for
forty years served the College in many important ways.

Laura Steele believed in the liberal arts; she wanted
students to be enriched by great poetry and drama and
novels, to be acquainted with great persons and re-live
great events; to encounter great ideals and ideas.

Laura Steele is one of a great procession of women

and men to whom this college owes its character
and its very being. But she was Laura Steele unique

herself intelligient and wise, charming and com-
pulsive, committed to honesty and truth, to her family,
to Agnes Scott and to Almighty God, in whose pre-
sence she does surely abide.

An excerpt from the speech given by C. Benton
Kline, Jr., Sept. 77.

Oiar

There is no place like a dorm. Even
though they did not have all the con-
veniences of home, each dorm was
unique in both its architecture and
residents, by the end of the year,
Scotties had come to love their new
homes. Often, to the dismay of par-
ents, a student could be heard to say it
was time to go home home mean-
ing back to school.

Students had to learn to adapt to
dorm life. If someone got up early e-
nough to avoid the rush in the bath-
room, she then had to wait at least ten
minutes for the hot water to come on.
Laundry, for some, was a major prob-
lem to cope with. When a girl found
her only clean clothes were a summer
party dress and the pants that no
longer fit, she knew the time had
come to find the laundry room.

An extremely loud buzzing at ap-
proximately 3 a.m. awakened all stu-
dents at least once a quarter. When
everybody finally realized turning off
the alarm clock did not stop the noise,
they knew it was time to go through
the ritual of a fire drill.

But life on the halls was not all work
and annoyances. In fact, at times it
tended to be more of a constant party.
Halls gathered together for birthday
parties and celebrations of special
events. By the end of the year, many
new friendships had been formed
through the experiences of living to-
gether.

MAKING SCOTT

112/THAT'S LIFE

FEEL LIKE HOME

As one walked down any hall in

an ASC dorm, a variety of

decoration schemes surfaced.

Creativity began at each door. Some

were covered with pertinent comics

painstakingly cut out of the

newspaper. The doors with weekly

class schedules and enormous memo

boards piled with messages upon

messages until cleaned (usually every

three weeks) were more staid. Once

inside the room, one was struck

with the ingenious, and sometimes

amazing, use of space. A bookcase

turned upside down on a desk

opened up extra floor space.

Hanging old wooden coke crates on

the wall to fill with innumerable

odds and ends left a dresser top

clear for other things. And, of

course, where would a Scottie have

been without her under-the-bed

boxes filled with the overflow from

her dresser drawers?

:^L.

^fl ^ip^^^

114/THAT'S LIFE

Not only were Scotties great
spacesavers but they were also
fantastic room arrangers. Always
trying to get away from that
"bedroom" look, a Scottie would
behead and befoot her beds by
night. In the older dorms, one could
find lofts above the closets and
enough wall space so that if the
room were turned on its side, it
would be twice the size of the
original room. Students here were
most concerned with stacking
furniture to gain more floor space.
Plants soon became best friends by
adding life and color everywhere.
Rockers, rugs, curtains, bedspreads,
posters, and stuffed animals brought
from home added to the "lived in"
look and helped to make any room
a home away from home.

THAT'S LIFE/115

Learning to sleep with the lights
on while a roommate crammed for a
test until 3 a.m. . . . Accepting the
fact that the person you lived with
was an even bigger slob than you
and knowing the room would never
be clean . . . Discovering you and
the person you were going to have
to live with for the next nine
months had some similar interests.

For upperclassmen and freshmen,
roommates were an essential part of
existance at times. Who else would
wake you up at 8:10 for your 8:30
class when you had turned off the
alarm and had gone back to sleep?
She always had a shoulder to cry on,
or the time to listen to you
complain about all your problems.
She was willing to study in the
library on Sunday afternoons so you
could entertain your boyfriend in
the room. Of course there were
some disadvantages to having a
roommate like talking all night
when you both had mountains of
homework to do. For some, a
roommate was like the sister they
did not have and for others a
roommate was practically a second
mother, but whatever the roles,
roommates helped to keep away
loneliness and most of all, were
fun.

Pages And Pages

Black What? was usually the
first reaction of freshmen when
Black Cat was mentioned. Over
500 young women dressed as
devils, crickets, and cops
cavorting and screaming for
two days? It sounded ridiculous
until the big weekend arrived.
After weeks of sewing
costumes, painting signs,
practicing songs, and rehearsing
the production the weekend
was a chance to relax and have
fun.

The spirit grew during the
week before Black Cat. In the
dining hall, classes competed
nightly in singing and shouting
matches. Sophomores harrassed
the freshmen as they tried to
confirm a clue about the
mascot. Hall raids and water
balloon battles were common
attack procedures.

Black Cat officially began with
the bonfire on Thursday night.
Each class tried to out shout
the others, in hopes of winning
the Spirit Award. After the song
competition, the Sophomores
successfully guessed the
freshmen mascot the Yellow
Pages.

Friday night the juniors entertained
everyone with a humorous view of
Agnes Scott. Before the play, the awards
were given. The seniors won the song
competition and the sophomores won
the spirit and games categories. The Black
Kitty award went to the senior class. After
the production, a campus party was held in
the quad. Scotties then went back to put
away their costumes for another year.
But the weekend was far from over. Social
Council sponsored the Black Cat formal dance
on Saturday night. Sunday afternoon everyone
relaxed in the quad with a picnic lunch and a folk
singer. The freshmen had been officially oriented and
was time to get back to studying.

After weeks of searching for a spe-
cial dress and a special date, the Black
Cat Dance was the climax of much
anticipation and preparation.
Following two days of dressing
as crickets and cops, screaming
and playing, Scotties had a chance
to settle down and show another
side of their personalities. Since
the ordeal of the evening's dinner
has traditionally become the girl's
responsibility, it was suddenly easy
to order poultry instead of steak
or lobster and decide on a cheaper
bottle of wine. Everyone had spec-
ulated as to what kind of music the
band would play, and upon arrival
at Dunfey's Royal Coach Hotel, every
Scottie made a beeline to the ball-
room to find out for herself. And
what a great discovery everything
for everybody! "Staircase" let us
dance to bluegrass ( ever try
clogging in a formal?), fifties
tunes, and rock. Of course, if the
dance floor was too crowded
for shagging (or there had been
room to dance and you wound up
with a swelling foot), there was
always plenty of action in those
rooms reserved by twenty girls
(at $2.00 per couple). Another
alternative to that environment was
the Fred Astaire Dance Convention,
also located in the Royal Coach.
It provided the atmosphere for one
last cheek-to-cheek dance as another
Black Cat came to a close.

122/THAT'S LIFE

THAT'S LIFE/123

Agnes Scott offered other things to do be-
sides study. Some of the free time diversions
included sports, lectures, parties and special
events. In sports, intramural and intercollegiate
field hockey, tennis, basketball, badminton, vol-
leyball, and Softball gave students the choice of
exercising or observing. For the more academi-
cally minded and sedate individuals, different
groups offered programs from the Guarneri
String Quartet to Reynolds Price. In addition to
those programs, there were the traditions of
Agnes Scott campus life. (By Agnes Scott's stan-
dards, a tradition is anything which has oc-
curred at least twice.) The main emphasis of
these events varied: Black Cat was just for fun;
Focus on Faith a serious reflection on religion;
china and silver surveys to make money; Appli-
cants Weekend for recruiting new Scotties;
Black History Week, and graduation (the tradi-
tion of traditions). And the campus did manage
to get together at least seven times during the
year for mandatory convocations. But when
Scotties were not found at any of the above,
one could easily find them at the parties which
were an important part of Agnes Scott life.
There were TGIF parties, dorm parties, surprise
birthday parties, class parties, campus camp-
outs, and dances. As a matter of fact, whenever
two or more Scotties gathered together, there"
was a guaranteed party. Of course, all these
activities were diligently watched over by the
never-ceasing security force. The ASC midnight
cowboys helped to keep the campus rotating
by alternating their breaks between the dining
hall and the Fiub every five minutes. With all
this to do, sometimes it was hard to see how
students had a chance to find time to study.

DECATUR

CITY OF CHURCHES

Decatur gives Agnes Scott an
aura of small town life which may
soon disappear with the coming
of MARTA's modern subway sys-
tem and the business it will bring
with it. But for now it is known
for its preponderance of
churches. Supposedly, Decatur
has more churches per square
inch of property than any other
city in the world. But Scotties
know the town for the conven-
ience of Kroger, Super X, and
many small shops that honor the

checks of Scott students. In the
last year, Bruce the Bagel-
bender's has become popular for
its great bagels and sandwiches.
Nearer to the school are Dairy
Queen and Pizza by Candelight
(P by C), the longtime favorite
study break for Scotties. Of
course, one part of Decatur that
will never be forgotten are the
railroad tracks. As any student
will attest, they must be the most
over-used tracks in the country.

TIME FLIES

128/THAT'S LIFE

WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN

Time was always important at'
Scott. Lives seemed to be run by
the clock. Classes at 8:30 were
too early and classes at 2:10 were
too late. Struggling to keep
awake in class was almost as tiring
as actual physical activity. Some
classes seemed to take an eter-
nity, while others, particularly
when there was a test, flew by.
That last bell, signalling the end
of a Scottie's class-day, never
seemed to come.

But when the day was over and
the night was upon a student, my,
how time seemed to fly! Whether
the Scottie was studying or party-
ing, there was never enough
time. And if partying was the acti-
vity of the evening, there was al-
ways the one last drink or just
one last thing to say to someone.
Time flies!

Frosh . . . It's Just
A Matter Of
Adjustment

Freshmen naturally had a hard time at
Scott in the beginning. Moving into a
room was difficult knowing what to
bring and what to leave behind. Having
to do laundry was mystifying. Things of-
ten changed colors or shrank. The
shrinking syndrome was a real problem
when coupled with the five to ten
pounds freshmen usually gained fall
quarter. The rules tended to make fresh-
men wary of doing something that
would lead to that frustrating "first ar-
rest"- After fall quarter, when they no
longer had to sign in and out and did not
have a "late time limit", life became
much simpler for the freshmen.

Brains And
Strains

Lab sciences and physical education
were two courses that usually appeared
on freshmen schedules. Both were in-
cluded in the liberal arts requirements
for graduation. So most freshmen spent
one afternoon a week, from two to five
p.m., in Campbell Hall working on bio-
logy or chemistry experiments. Some
freshmen in their gold and white gym
suits played field hockey, golf, and ten-
nis; while others in bathing suits and leo-
tards learned synchronized swimming
and tap dancing.

From the very beginning of the year,
freshmen heard about Black Cat. But
what was Black Cat? They soon found
out and from then until Black Cat, pre-
parations for it occupied all their spare
time. At times they had two to three
meetings a week when they were choos-
ing a mascot. As usual, one of their major
problems was maintaining secrecy, not
only the mascot name, but also the
places where they worked on decora-
tions and costumes. Freshmen learned
to be on the lookout for short-sheeted
beds and switched dresser drawers,
compliments of the sophomores. Finally
Black Cat arrived and freshmen were
able to see for themselves how much the
weekend meant.

Dear Mom And

Dad,

Please $end $ome

Money

When a freshman was confronted with
a sixty dollar phone bill and a bank bal-
lance of $3.84, she usually had one alter-
native to write home for money. The
first "Dear Mom and Dad, Please send
money!" letter was always difficult for a
student to write, in writing such a letter
she had to admit that she had not han-
dled her money as successfully as she
had planned. There were many ways to
spend a month's allowance in one week
in Atlanta. When a phone bill with many
long distance charges was added to
other expenditures, the result could be
disasterous. One small consolation was
that most parents came to expect re-
quests for money once in a while.

Investigators

Although Black Cat is held
every year, a student's per-
spective of the week
changes over the years. So
how was it the second time
around, Sophomores? We
knew what to expect and
were no longer the under-
dogs trying to be the class
that finally kept the secret.
Our turn had come to be
the instigators of the pranks.
We had to patrol the cam-
pus at very late hours to
check for lights in unusual
places, lie in wait for hours
under beds, and try road-
trippings, surprise attacks,
snooping, and liquor to dis-
cover the freshman mascot.
What if we had pieced
everything together incor-
rectly? After a lengthy song,
the Yellow Pages confirmed
our guess and we were able
to relax and enjoy the week-
end.

Sophomores were faced with
the problem of picking a major
this year. Some students knew
when they began their freshman
year what they would study.
Others did not decide on a major
until Course Selection Week of
this year. Few sophomores rea-
lized that the major did not have
to determine the rest of their
lives. Among graduates, English
majors working in banks and che-
mistry majors working for travel
agencies were not unusual. Some

sophomores mapped out their
lives and studied subjects that
would assure careers. Others
were willing to take a chance,
and picked a major simply be-
cause they enjoyed that certain
subject. Choosing a major sym-
bolized leaving general studies
behind and becoming involved
in in-depth courses in a specific
field, if nothing else, a sopho-
more needed to choose a disci-
pline that would hold her inter-
est for the next two years.

Capping Highlights
^ Junior Year

Capping? Is that another tradition at Agnes
Scott? The answer is an emphatic yes. Capping,
a secret ceremony, is held one night during
Spring Quarter. It is a ceremony designed to
officially welcome the juniors to senior status. A
solemn dinner is held before the capping and
everyone parties afterwards. During the cele-
bration, everyone seems to become at least
slightly inebriated. Of course, it is the first time
juniors officially sing "We Are Tired Old Sen-
iors," an honor they feel they have more than
earned after three years at Scott.

Juniors Pursue Majors

This year most members of the Class of 1979
began to take many in-depth courses in their ma-
jor area. For the first time they were mainly taking
upper level courses which usually lasted one
quarter instead of the full year. About one fourth
of the juniors had chosen to major in psychology.
A large percentage of the class had decided to
double major. As usual, many planned to be certi-
fied to teach either elementary or secondary edu-
cation. Both of these meant students were able to
take fewer electives in their last two years at Agnes
Scott. But at least they had filled P.E. and other
basic requirements for graduation.

^ Shortage Of Men

What did Agnes Scott not have that
other colleges did? Boys! Mens! Males!
Scott certainly did not have many
around. But there was no need to des-
pair; there were places to find them,
providing one did not have a certain
HTH that lured her home each week-
end. The first stop was Georgia Tech,
mainly because Scotties have been dat-
ing there forever. Then it was on to bat-
tle the females at Emory for that wealthy
doctor or lawyer, or both. Pretty soon
imagination stepped in and one met
men jogging in town, at lectures on
campus, climbing Stone Mountain, or
answering a call for help in CREATIVE
LOAFING. But if one still did not suc-
ceed, she should have come home to
ASC and not worry. After all, one could
always flirt with the security guards!

Black Cat Production

This year, as usual, the junior class wrote, directed, and
produced the Black Cat Production for the campus com-
munity. Over the summer, the Script Committee and Lyri-
cist wrote the play and songs. All the songs were written to
the tunes from the musical, SOUTH PACIFIC. The play,
about a northerner and a southerner rooming together, was
entitled THE SOUTH'S TERRIFIC. Early in the fall, the cast
was selected and rehearsals began. Finally on October 21,
the play had its opening and closing night.

he senior year at Agnes Scott was always the busiest
as far as class activities were concerned. So the class needed
to have efficient and enthusiastic officers to lead them. The
seniors got exactly what they needed when they elected
Thelma Ruddell as their president, Sue Fisher as Vice Presi-
dent and Janet Kelley as the Secretary- Treasurer. These
women began their work spring quarter of their junior year
and continued work until graduation. In planning class
meetings from week to week and leading the class activities,
the officers kept their classmates spirited and involved. Ear-
ly in the year they organized the ordering of caps and
gowns and graduation invitations. In both of these efforts,
the officers had to deal with the usual problems of collect-
ing money. Besides Black Cat, the main project in the fall
was Investiture. Later in the year, they supervised the
choosing and executing of the traditional class project for
the school. The final project for the Class of 78 was gradua-
tion on June 4. Through their diligence, these officers
helped to make this year a memorable one for the seniors.

ersonality, good looks, and brains the class of
1978 had it all! Lurking behind their big, gorgeous eyes
and beautiful wavy hair were the brains that won the Class
of 78 the Class Scholarship Trophy three times in a row.
The Class of 1978 accomplished a rare feat indeed, since
only one other class in Agnes Scott history has won the
award three times consecutively.

When the Class of '78 received their first graded Eng-
lish papers, many wondered if they would ever make it to
Graduation Day. But long hours in the library and fre-
quent all-nighters paid off as illustrated in the final pink
grade slips. Even those members of the class who could
not boast of making the honor roll, could take pride in
the fact that they contributed to the overall winning class
average. The Class of 1978 made its mark in the history
books of Agnes Scott College as being one of the most
outstanding classes ever to hit the campus.

Independent studies gave seniors a chance to do in
depth work in some area of their majors. A piece of
written work, usually quiet lengthy, was turned in at the
completion of the study. A person doing an Independent
worked entirely on her own, except for guidance from her
advisor. The work of an Independent was spread over two
or three quarters. Research was done during the first
quarter and the paper was written in the last quarter. It was
possible to get three, four, or five hours of credit per
quarter for work done on an Independent. An Independent
Study gave a student a chance to employ the skills she had
learned from the study of her major. Independents in bio-
logy and chemistry involved doing an experiment, while
English majors usually chose one author and did a critique
of some aspect of his work. While any senior could do an
Independent, only a few with special interests chose to
undertake such an involved project.

PLASH! A very strange disease, commonly called LOVE,
reached epidemic proportions here on the Agnes
Scott campus. Although this disease hits a few "Scot-
ties" every year, it seemed the 1978 strain was out to get us
all! The first signs of the disease were the keeping of late
night hours, giddiness, daydreaming in class, and a loss in
appetite. Chains of Greek letters and jewel-studded pins
were often seen worn by the less affected victims; but, in
the most severe cases, the victims were marred by a large,
glowing protrusion on the fourth finger of the left hand!
These victims also lost all sense of propriety: they had the
audacity to openly discuss this disease called LOVE and to
subject others to long, drawn-out treatises on the nature of
this contagion. These "seminars", occuring at supper,
aroused so much emotion that frequent dumpings were
made into the Alumni Pond in an attempt to cure Agnes
Scott of the disease. But, nevertheless, it could not be
stopped LOVE was incurable!

"H

ey Mom, I spilled my bowl of peas on the floor but
don't worry cuz I stopped them from rolling
around I squished 'em." Children frequently
present us with unique situations, problems, and joys. As we
sat in the dining hall, we found ourselves discussing the pros
and cons of motherhood. Many seniors joined in the con-
versations knowing that this decision was not confronting
them immediately. However, for those engaged, the pro-
spect of having children was a real concern. The realities of
holding the responsibilities associated with raising children
stood forth. Who will give the 2 AM feeding? Will there be
enough money for Sharon's new clothes next fall AND
Bobby's braces? But what would you do without those
sweet and sincere little eyes peering at you as you bend to
give them their goodnight kiss? Children offer some of the
most priceless moments of a parent's life. We became aware
of many of these realities as we matured during the year at
Scott. We were not expected to leave college and automati-
cally fall into marriage and motherhood. The question of
bearing and raising children should be evaluated seriously,
and for most of us, the decision-making process continues.

Apartment anxiety became a prevalent syndrome
among seniors as soon as jobs were found and plans
were finalized. Apartment hunting entails circling
classified ads, calling after 5:00 P.M. or visiting the resident
manager, getting a headache, and, the sales pitch: "We have
a very elite class of tenants here at L'Armpit Arms 1 know
you, being an Agnes Scott graduate, will feel right at home
here." When you find that perfect pad (its only fault is the
clanging radiators), there is rent to look forward to, and
cooking your own meals, and taking out the garbage, and
. . . enjoying. Outside world here we come!

It took them four long years to build it up to the top, but
the Class of 1978 finally did it. Their Black Cat spirit was
burning this pasfyear and the Seniors ran away with the
iwards. First place in the song competition and the tug-of-
var were just a few of the achievements which led them to
he ultimate recognition. Yes, the Seniors finally won the
Jiack Kitty Award.

rhe honors were well deserved as the entire Senior Class
vorked together practicing songs, decorating Gaines and
larassing Freshmen. Believe it or not, those "mature young
vomen" did manage to tear themselves away from their
)Ooks a few times in the weeks preceeding Black Cat to
lelp their sister class. There they were, those tired old
ieniors leading water balloon fights and other late-night
jranks. Seniors had a lot to celebrate at their last Black Cat
Jance, for Hot Stuff did indeed end his Black Cat career by
5oing out in "a blaze of glory".

The Class of 1978 received the official recognition of
"seniorhood" on the weekend of November 5-6.
Commonly known as Senior Investiture, this week-
end has been a tradition at Agnes Scott for ages. This event
proved to be a more rewarding experience than merely
attending breakfast and brunch and walking across stage to
have a hat placed on the Senior's head. As parents listened
to the speech delivered by Dr. Brown, they realized that
their "little girl" was an adult and ready for the world await-
ing her. Peers recognized that their fellow students were
now Seniors and would soon be leaving the Agnes Scott
community. And the Class of 1978, appreciating the times at
Agnes Scott made possible by family and friends, realized
that they were capable of making the break into indepen-
dence.

a RE, LSAT, MCAT, and GMAT all are graduate school
admissions tests. Some seniors, instead of looking for
a job, went through the process of finding a school
where they could earn an advanced degree. Once again, as
in high school, the senior filled out applications, figured
grade point averages, and went to interviews with admis-
sions representatives. The main difference was, it was
harder to get into graduate schools. Approximately twenty-
five percent of the senior class would be enrolled in a
graduate or professional school the next fall. The general
graduate school test was the Graduate Record Exam (GRE).
For specific programs, there were other tests such as the
Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), and the Graduate Man-
agement Admissions Test (GMAT).

This year the school required all seniors to take an advanced
form of the Graduate Record Exam on the subject of her
major. The individual did not have to pay for the test. The
school wanted to know how well it was preparing its grad-
uates in each area of study. The student who took the test
only because it was required did not experience the pres-
sure felt by the student whose future education depended
on her test score.

What is your goal in life? Tell me why you are inter-
ested in our company. Why do you think you are
qualified for this job? What are your best and
worst attributes? You were expected to answer these ques-
tions and many more without becoming flustered and
tongue-tied. There you sat on the edge of your chair with a
straight back, legs together, palms sweaty, your head held
high, and wearing your most sophisticated outfit. The ob-
ject was to convince the interviewer that you were a great
prospect. But the super-ego necessary to give this impres-
sion had managed to escape you. Glancing at the clock, you
realized the interview lasted only thirty minutes. It seemed
to be hours.

Interviews were just part of job hunting. Before the inter-
view, you spent hours filling in applications and writing a
resume. The Career Planning Office helped by holding
seminars on interviews and how to write a resume. They
also invited firms to the campus to interview students inter-
ested in the firm. Graduate schools also sent representatives
to interview prospective students. These interviews were
just as nerve-racking as the others. Interviews were not only
an essential part of getting a job, but they could be informa-
tive too. After hearing about the job, you might decide you
were not interested in the job after all. Even if you got a
refusal from the interviewer, you gained experience that
would make the next interview easier.

Realizing that graduation would soon arrive, Seniors
were faced with the big question what to do after
leaving Agnes Scott. The days of graduation
straight to the kitchen no longer held true for most career
minded Scott graduates. There were so many fields open to
the liberal arts graduate law, medicine, business, teach-
ing. Seniors found themselves faced with a multitude of
questions as they made future plans. "Is graduate schoo
necessary?" "What will be my starting salary?" "Do I want to
work in my hometown or move to a new exciting city?" A
world of opportunities lie before the college graduate. But
each person must evaluate the career choices and then
choose the route that will best meet her personal objec-
tives.

^^ eniors often wonder what they are graduating from
^S or are graduating to. it is a time of leaving behind
> ^ things once tatcen for granted and approaching new
experiences. A period of life is now over, and the graduate
must stop to consider how she has changed over the years
spent at Agnes Scott. She must evaluate her actions, her
opinions, and decide whether or not she is pleased with
what she has become, for it is not possible to have remained
the same. The roll of parchment is handed her solemnly, as
recognition of academic achievement. She alone can mea-
sure the spiritual and intellectual growth attained in pursuit
of that diploma. The embraces, the congratulations buffer
the doubts pummeling her brain as she realizes it's all up to
her now. There will be no more instruction, no study aids.
The goal of education is to prepare the student for life; and
graduation affirms the success of that education. The grad-
uate will continue to learn, at times more from experience
than from books. Some graduates have a plan for the rest of
their lives, some have no idea what they will do tomorrow.
But for all of them, there is the realization of doors shutting
behind and opening before. Exhilurating, frightening and
not always prepared for, there it is. The future for which we
all change in the present.

when she would finally be through with school. Life
would be so different no more studying until two
or three in the morning or spending weekends in the library
researching a paper. She would not have to wait until Sun-
day afternoon to ask a man into her home, and once he was
there, she would be able to serve him something stronger
than Coke to drink. At last there would be no more waiting
in line for a shower in a community bathroom. But maybe
some changes would not be for the better. She would have
to do all the cooking and cleaning. She would have to file
income tax returns. No matter what happened, after four
years at Scott, it was time for a change.

In Memoriam
1957-1977

An excerpt from the prayer given by Dr. Mary Virginia
Allen:

We lift up our souls to Thee this morning. We are con-
fused and awed by the mystery of sudden death. Thou hast
made each one of us in Thy likeness and breathed into us
the breath of Thy own life. Thou hast given to each a
portion of immortality. Therefore, with the light of Thy
glory illumine our understanding, as we gather in this place
to thank Thee for the life of Cathryn Crane.

We bless Thee for forming her soul to seek Thee. We
bless Thee for Thy hand upon her mind, making her eager
for knowledge. We recognize the sacrifices she made in
order to be able to continue her education. Comfort us
with the certainity that Thou, and perhaps only Thou, didst
know what she suffered and what work she had to accom-
plish before her spirit could merge again with the spirit of
her loving Creator. Give us the assurance that in Thy hands
were the threads of her life.

In the quietness of Thy presence grant us the realization
that here on this earth we have no abiding place, that a
thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is
past and that Thou, who knowest the hairs on our head art
also the One who keepeth the stars in their place. Make us
willing to leave Cathryn in Thy loving care, assured that Thy
love for this. Thy child, is far greater than the love of her
family and friends for her.

"THE DOUBLE McGUFFIN ""

I

FILMED AT
AGNES SCOTT

For a change of pace, during Winter Quarter,
Agnes Scott got a taste of Hollywood as Mulberry
Square Productions of Dallas filmed a portion of a
movie on the Scott campus. The movie was "The
Double McGuffin," a mystery tale involving lost
money, a dead body, and a plot to assassinate a
Prime Minister of a foreign country. Hike
Sommer played the Prime Minister, while Ernest
Borgnine portrayed the villain. Agnes Scott,
representing a Virginia boarding school, was where
Miss Sommer's daughter attended school. Several
members of the Scott campus community got walk-on
parts in the movie, much to the student-body's
excitement.

Joe Camp, of "Benji" and "Hawmps" fame, wrote,
directed, and produced the movie. His crew was on
campus for a total of five days, providing a less-
than-usual diversion during the mid-term crunch.
Throughout the filming, crowds of students watched
Hollywood in action as cameras were moved, make-up
was applied, scenes were rehearsed (and rehearsed,
and rehearsed), and the actual footage was shot with
precision lighting and camera work. Many students
in Winship were forced, for the sake of stardom, to
either forfeit their rooms to Hollywood, or
accept the black-out curtains that technology

required in order to achieve just the right amount
of light for that scene. Other students in Walters
were told to stay either in or out of their rooms
from 11 PM until 3 AM as filming took place: even
the slight opening of doors on the south side of
the building would affect filming. Main was used in
a similar manner, and the gym acquired a "new" front
arch for the sake of the film.

Agnes Scott was chosen for the movie because it
looked more like a Virginia boarding school than any
in Virginia, as well as providing the
angle shots that Camp wanted. The action was sup-
posed to take place in the early Fall, which posed
problems when one considers that it was mid-January
in Georgia. It was especially cold during the
filming, and the actors and actresses found it
necessary to wear long underwear under their Fall
costumes. The largest problem proved to be the mist
in the air from the actors' breath. This problem
was finally solved when the actors held their breath,
and these portions were filmed in fifteen second
segments.

Overall, the introduction to Hollywood proved
to be a diversion in the monotony of Winter and a
learning experience that is rare even on a liberal
arts campus.

Trustees of Agnes Scott College, died January 30, 1978,

the Board in 1917, her term having spanned the
administrations of all four Agnes Scott presidents. She
also served two terms as president of the Alumnae
Association, from 1921-24. Miss Kirk was a poet and an
artist of note, many of her works having been
published in newspapers and anthologies. In 1937, she
won the Silv^ Loving Cup of Poetry from the Alabama
Poetry Soerety for her collection entitled THE SUM OF
LIVING. In 1975, the Alumnae. Association presented
