In a world that is constantly changing it is nice to know that some things remain constant. One thing that has not changed in over one hundred years is Agnes Scott College's Bell Tower. When current students look at the Main Tower, they are able to connect with all of the alumnae across the generations. There is much more to that; here at Agnes Scott we have the unique opportunity to continue traditions, many of which have been happening for near a century. This year's Si'/fioueffe hopes to continue in the rich tradition of story telling so famous in the annuals from the 1950s. We have decided to interject a few photos and stories from that decade to highlight some of the traditions that we cherish today and show how they celebrated them back in the day. One of Agne's oldest traditions is Senior Investiture which began in 1908 and is observed each fall. At this ceremony Seniors receive academic mortar boards in recognition of their standing as a Senior. However, the tradition that went along with this has long since become but a memory. Little Girls' Day, was celebrated each year on the day prior to Investiture, and all Seniors would dress up and act like little girls for one last day before they were expected to be the campus role models. Of course I am sure that this is why Investiture always happened long after Black Cat. There are few current students that can not talk about their favorite aspect of Black Cat. The tradition started in 1 91 5 by Dr. Sweet, the professor of hygiene, in order to curtail the hazing committed by the Sophomores on the First-Years. When the tradition began it was only between the Sophomores and First- Years, and at the end of a week of following the Sophomores' rules, the two classes would put on a stunt, or skit. It was not until the late 1 940s that Black Cat morphed into something we would recognize today, and it would not be until much later for one of the favorite aspects. Junior Production. However, there was very active competition between the classes in the sports of basketball, field hockey, and archery. While the events themselves may have changed over time the concept remained and the time honored tradition continues to welcome First-Years to Agnes Scott and make them a part of the college. Of course one of the most favorite traditions is the ring ceremony. Students who have Sophomore standing are eligible to receive their rings during Sophomore Family Weekend in February. The rectangular black onyx ring with "ASC" inscribed on its top holds a special place in most Scotties' hearts. It is a tangible connection to all other alumnae across the generations. While the formal ceremony itself is relatively new, the ring was introduced in the 1920s and has remained virtually unchanged. Along with these remaining traditions Agnes has said goodbye to a few from the fifties. May Day and its court and play are gone, the Senior Opera, and the Si/fioueffe Beauties (if you have never heard of that one take a study break in the library and check out some of the older annuals). We are not suggesting bringing them back; it is good to know that Agnes Scott changes with the times. However, as we change with the times it is a comfort to know that the students of the class of 1 906 decided that it was important to have student government, and that they signed the same honor pledge that we all did as First-Years during that Orientation weekend. On that note the Silhouette Staff of 2008-2009 presents to the campus Now ... and Then. QAie^come ome Scotttes Orientation gives First-Year Students tlie chance to prepare Agnes Scott Residence Halls to be their homes. So, you have decided to attend Agnes Scott. Congratulations and welcome to your new home. First, remember to go by the parking deck and pick up your keys and shirt. Then be sure to get all of your things out the car. This is not 1 950 when you would have come with just one or two bags. Don't worry there will be lots of people around to help out. Then remember to meet your RA and hallmates. After that it is off to the Honor Pledge signing, Agnes Scott's oldest tradition. Everyone will be lining up outside so don't be late. If you follow a bagpiper you can't go wrong can you? So you will sign the parchments that will be hung later in Buttrick. The administration will welcome you and tell you why the Honor Code is so important to Agnes Scott. Then there is some time for you to meet new people and just relax. Maybe you will get to meet President Kiss or discover who plays Agnes Irvine (the Scottie dog). Don't forget that the next day will be busy too. Atlanta Challenge will be here to do some team building and then you and your ASC 1 01 group will be heading out to different places in Atlanta. All of the activities will be wrapped up with a worship on Sunday. So, if you enjoyed yourself be sure to thank one of the members of the Orientation Council when you see them. jKqw...

New buildings have been built, we have a new president, and the diversity of the student body has increased. Our enrollment has increased, and boys are allowed in the dorms. But some things have not changed. We are still a women's college dedicated to educating the future leaders of America. Agnes still remains a highly respected institution that sends women in to the world ready for success. In following with the traditions of annuals from the 1950s, the photos of the campus are presented here for future generations to imagine what Agnes Scott looked like "back in the day." So, here's to another fifty years. May we grow and continue to progress while still remembering where we came from. ASC students in the 1950 The Woodruff Quad in the 1 950's.

Dean Lee is charging the Seniors to reflect on who they have become in their Agnes Scott years and what they want to do after graduation. Senior Investiture is a tradition that dates back decades and decades at Agnes Scott College. It originated hundreds of years ago in English universities, but has since then become one of the college's most cherished traditions. Even/ fall seniors gather in their newly received caps and gowns and practice for their departure into the "real world", only months away. During the ceremony, they are capped with their academic mortar boards as a symbol of their status. Senior investiture is concluded with a celebratory family dinner and a worship on Sunday morning.

Whether one subscribes to a religion or not, the Julia Thompson Smith Chapel is most certainly a unique place for worship and meditation. Tucked away amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday student life, the chapel's unique design and purpose invites the busiest of us to rest, think and meditate. One of the highlights of the new chapel is its simple, non-denominational design. Those of all faiths and beliefs are invited to meet and interact. Above all else, inter-faith practices are supported and encouraged. Along with the inauguration of the Julia Smith Chapel, the brand new Agnes Scott Believes progmm has begun and is held each Friday at 10am in this space. This program is based on the NPR show titled "This I Believe." Each week one faculty or staff member and one student share their beliefs with the community. ,5^-;^^ ivery college campus has a jewel.

In fact, the gazebo once functioned as the school's chapel, as did Gaines Chapel of course. (Aqm^ Scott QAie&omGS ^ean ^onn While Dean Lee had only b here for a short time when the semester began, it felt as if she had been a part of the Agnes Scott community for years. Dean Lee came to Agnes Scott from Rollins College, also a liberal arts college, where she served as the Dean of Student Affairs. When I sat down with Dean Lee, she said that one of the reasons she was drawn to Agnes Scott was that she was impressed by the women here and the way they express themselves... not to mention the grass that drew many a Scottie to come here. Women at Agnes Scott, both today and throughout history, have been willing to share their opinions with others, making sure that their voices are heard by both the Agnes Scott community and the larger community. Dean Lee mentioned that women are known to face injustice and inequality that they see in the world and that women at Agnes Scott are on the forefront of that change. Dean Lee also spoke to the community that we have here at Agnes Scott saying that there was "a sense of connection, spirit, and pride" in our school. I asked Dean Lee what she felt was the most important aspect of being a dean and she said that it was reaching out and making connections with students. When Dean Lee held up the Black Kitty at bonfire, it seemed that her connection to the Agnes Scott community grew even deeper. Her appearance at bonfire reinforced her belief that students are whole beings who work hard in the classroom but also need to have time to play and grow outside of the classroom. It has become clear that Dean Lee will be with Agnes Scott for many years to come and will add a part of who she is to the traditions that all Scotties love and cherish. It has been a pleasure to welcome Dean Lee and her family to the campus and have the opportunity to sit down and not only talk to her but make a connection with her. I would suggest that every Scottie take the time to form a relationship with our new dean.

"I honestly could not believe the start", Head Coach Joe Bergin said. "To score one is great, but two is outstanding. And we hit the cross bar on another shot! I was hoping we could sustain that energy level for the whole game." With several injuries later in the half, Maryville finished the half on a roll, scoring three goals in a span of 13 minutes to go into the break up 3-2. The Lady Scots finished off the Scotties in the second half with four additional goals for the final margin of 7-2. The score does not look good, but I am so proud of our kids, said Bergin. To put this into perspective, we started seven first- years today against a team that has not lost in 88 conference games. This bodes well for us for the future. We have a bunch of off-season work ahead of us which includes strengthening our players and the squad through recruiting. The Scotties finished the year 7-12-1 and have advanced to the GSAC tourney semi finals every year under Bergin.

It has taught me more about myself than I could have ever hoped to learn and when I look up at the bell tower of Main I think about all of the good, bad, and even ugly times I have had at Agnes Scott. But, I also remember i that Agnes will always be there for me when I need it and I can always call it home. I love this place, * it is in my blood, and I will never forget it. That black, onyx ring we all wear will not let me forget it. ' I was fortunate to be able to follow Dean Hudson's advice during Orientation and get involved like many of you in the Class of 2009. I will always treasure the time I spent as a Residence Assistant, the | Secretary of our class, and as a member of the Colonnade Club but, the Silhouette holds a special place in my heart. So, now to the book and the cause of my writing. Before the fall of 2007 I had * never been the Editor-in-Chief of anything, I barely edited my papers before turning them in. As I write now I am thinking about how many picas the text should be from the center of the book and re- j reading every word as I type. When I became the editor my junior year, I was terrified. I was involved in so many things that it seemed most days that nothing would get done on time or turned "* in ever. I quickly learned that working on the yearbook was a labor of love and that I would have to | do what I could to present that to the campus community. I have never felt like I succeed in my task | but, I have been told time and time again that the 2008 Silhouette was a success. I owe that success to several people and to those people I am both grateful and in their debt. For both the 2008 and 2009 ] Silhouette I must thank eternally Whitney Brown '07. Without her guidance and care I am sure that more than once I would have thrown in the towel and said "forget it, I hate the book, I no longer care j if it gets done." She was always at the other end of my telephone telling me that none of those things were true and that I just needed to take a break, "maybe you should think about some sleep." , Whitney, I am forever grateful and blessed to be able to call you my friend and be able to blame my * yearbook worries and problems on you, since you were the one who said that I would be a great ' Editor. Your friendship means the world to me and I hope that you know I never could have made i these two yearbooks without you. You taught me everything I needed to know about making a I yearbook. For the 2008 book I am also in debt to Shannon McKnight '08 whose constant work on the t book kept me sane. Your layouts were impeccable and you always had a smile to brighten the office. | I wish you the best in all you do. Pauline, I owe you a big one too. Neither book would have been completed without your hard work and willingness to listen to me complain at all hours of the night. Thank you for your friendship over our years here and I hope to stay close for many more. I want to ! also thank my staff from both years as they were a huge help to me and kept me going because we know that one person can not make the book by themselves. I want to thank Nicoline Strom-Jensen '06 as a past Editor and friend, you have been willing to listen to me complain about the book to no i. end and for that I thank you. I want to be sure and thank my parents who have always been in my comer and never let me think that I could not succeed. I have to thank Erin Howie the adviser not | only to the Silhouette but to my future. The number of hours that I have spent in your office should be billed to Agnes as therapy sessions. You always had the time to stop and listen to my crazy 3 ranting, thank you. A big thank you goes out to the Class of 2009, 1 love and adore too many of you ^ to try and make a list but please know that I will not forget you any time soon. I want to also thank % Kristy Smith, Dean Hall, Kirby Hager Johnson 06, Eunice Li Chay '08, Mia Jacintho '10, Annie Kim { '06, President Kiss, The Office of Alumnae Relations, Betty Derrick 68, Dean Hudson 68, Dean Lee, | "^ ^nckson- Minot, and Dr. Coia. The list of people to thank could go on for days but I will have to i nk you face to face. I just want everyone at Agnes Scott to know "You're the Best!" I refuse to | suy bye to this place and its people so, until we meet again. I hope that my work on the 2009 1 Silho. vill measure up to the 104 volumes that come before it. With that I give you the 105th i Volumt the 2009 Silhouette. 1 Your Friend, M 142 Sarah Kalaris '09 S Statt Sarah Kalaris- Editor-in-Chief Tara Brinkman- Assistant Editor Pauline Worusski- Assistant Editor Danielle Adamson Brittani Banks Jessica Dupree Stacy- Ann Love Caitlin Walker Specifications The Agnes Scott College Silhouette Volume 105, was published by the printing division of Jostens, Clarksville, TN, 1312 Highway 48, Clarksville, TN.
