The 1946 Silhouette is in the hands of our Junior Editor, Miss Aggie Hottentot, who has come to us on a visit from her home land to see what fellow Hottentots are like. She's a snoopy little miss, and she got into everything immediately. Her dimpled charm, her spontaneous gaiety, and her sparkling and somewhat surprising comments on college life entranced us, and we coaxed her into helping us edit the Sil- houette. But her personality swamped our feeble efforts at being witty, so we gave her full charge and let her manage the whole thing. We've fallen hopelessly in love with her, and we hope that everyone else will take her to their hearts, too. . . . Now, it's all yours, Aggie . . . fire away!

Into them pass hundreds of students. who will study, play, and live for four years in the atmosphere of stimulation which finds its roots in the quiet strength symbol- ized by these buildings. Remembrance of college days is bound up inextricably with remembrance of Buttrick. Presser. and the library — classes, cokes, labs, quiet study, animated "bull-ses- sions," reverent chapel programs — days at Agnes Scott!

All the charm of southern hospitality lies in the dignified pillars of the colonnade.
Beloved Main tower through the stark tracery of black houghs.
Fall, winter, and spring, Agnes Scott is a lovely campus. Fall makes of it a pageant of color with windswept skies and autumn leaves. Winter skies are background for the strong, clean-cut outlines of the buildings. With March comes all the deli- cacy of a southern spring — dogwood, wisteria, azaleas, and the new green of trees and grass. One would look far for a college campus more graced with natural loveliness!

But then again, there is ample room for work. Because the old proverb, "All work and no play . . .", applies backwards, too. Buttrick is equipped with roomy, airy class-rooms and, of course, the mail room and book-store! Sound- proof practice rooms make Presser the ideal spot for musical study. Day and night the science labs are well-occupied. And it goes without say- ing that the library is a perfect habitation for any type of concentration.
Term papers, math problems, parallel reading — the library offers refuge to all who study.

The Faculty

Kindliness and dignity characterize our beloved president, Dr. McCain.
President fames Ross McCain, aside from his duties as chief executive, has a genuine interest in all campus affairs. Often during the late afternoon he may be found among the crowd on the hockey field or at a basketball game, enjoying the athletic contests as much as any student. Dr. McCain holds many important positions in both literary and religious fields. He is a sena- tor of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, a member of the General Education Board of New York, and a very active member of the Decatur Presbyterian Church. All Agnes Scott stu- dents admire him for his dignity, friendliness, and poise. President McCain is truly the embodi- ment of the Acnes Scott ideal.

The Administration
Mr. S. G. Stukes is. one of the busiest, as well as one of the most popular, people on campus. In addition to his duties as Registrar, he holds the positions of Dean of the Faculty and Professor of Psychology. Seniors turn to Mr. Stukes for some solution of the problem of what is to come after graduation; his advice is excellent, and his help is invaluable!
Mr. J. C. Tart, Business Manager-Treasurer, is never too busy for a smile and a friendly "hello." He simplifies our money problems and smoothly manages the complex financial matters of the college.
Our Assistant Business Manager-Treasurer, Mr. How- ard MacGregor, and his family have become popular members of our college community. Our well groomed campus is largely a result of his tireless supervision.
__ Her duties both as Recorder and teacher of freshman English make Miss Margaret Ridley an important person on campus.
Miss Laura Steele is Dr. McCain's capable secretary. Since January of this year she has been on leave of absence, attending two sessions at Columbia University. Mrs. Willis Binford has taken her place for the remainder of the term.
Miss Martha Ray Lasseter has much to keep her busy as secretary to Mr. Stukes.
The very efficient secretary to Mr. Tart and Mr. Mac- Gregor is Miss Helen Finser.

Charm, efficiency, and understanding combine to make Miss Scandrett the perfect dean.
Friendly and sympathetic response to students' problems and an air of calm efficiency have made the Dean's office a popular center of interest. It is the place where students not only sign up for cuts, look up schedules, and sign out for dates, but also go for a friendly chat with one of the gracious persons on duty there.
Miss Carrie Scandrett, Dean of Students, is known campus-wide as one who is personally interested in each individual student. She always has ready an encouraging word or a bit of helpful advice. Her gracious smile creates a friendly atmosphere wherever she goes.
Assistant Dean of Students is Miss Charlotte Hunter. She is especially helpful to the freshmen in advising them how to arrange their schedules, budget their time, and become adjusted to college life. Miss Hunter's sympathetic understanding and appealing personality have endeared her to everyone in the college com- munity.
Mrs. L. A. Hunt, now secretary to the Dean of Students, is well- known by the student body.
A recent graduate of Agnes Scott. Miss Betty Bowman, is also secretary to the Dean of Students. Her first year on campus in this capacity has been highly successful.

English
Remote Beowulf becomes vivid, and the problem of term papers becomes simpler under the guidance of the Eng- lish faculty. Through its variety of courses and the val- uable public lectures it sponsors, this department has touched the life of every student.
Mr. George P. Hayes is Professor of English. His sincere interest in students and in college activities has made him a favorite of all. His engagement-book is con- stantly filled with appointments to talk to students, coach debates, or be a welcome addition to social functions.
Miss Emma May Laney, Associate Professor of English, is universally known through her activities as chairman of the Faculty Committee of Lecture Association. She is admired by students and faculty alike for her scholarship and stimulation of students.
Warmth of personality and genuine scholarship characterize popular Mr. Hayes.
Associate Professor Ellen Douglass Leyburn is a source of inspiration to all who study under her. Illness kept her from teaching for some weeks, but she has now fully resumed her excellent work.
Miss Janef Preston, Assistant Professor of English, is welcomed back as a full-time instructor after a long illness. Her love of poetry makes Romantic and Victorian Poets come alive for the students who take her courses.

Presentation of today's world-wide problems in the light of foregoing events is a significant part of the his- tory department's program. The varied courses which are offered keep pace with a changing world and enable the student to have an intelligent attitude as a world citizen.
Mrs. Catherine Strateman Sims, As- sociate Professor of History and Politi- cal Science, has become an integral part of the campus community through her very popular chapel talks on current events. Her penetrating insight into the problems of the pres- ent day enables her to teach courses which are vital for students interested in the government of the nation and the world.
Associate Professor of History and Political Science, Miss Florence Smith, stimulates the interest of many stu- dents in historical and governmental affairs with her instructive and varied lectures. The twinkle in her eye re- veals also a quiet sense of humor which makes her a delightful person to know.
Miss Elizabeth Jackson, Associate Professor of History, is an unusually- competent teacher. Her extensive knowledge of history makes her classes very informative. Miss Jackson is a member of the American Association of University Women.
Miss Smith refers to The Con- stitution for the answer to a governmental problem.

A favorite place for visitors because of its Gothic charm and for students because of its storehouse of knowledge, the library is a focal point of academic activities.
The quiet and dignified atmosphere of the library can be attributed to Miss Edna Ruth Hanley's supervision as librarian. She also plans the distinctive exhibits which appear on approp- riate occasions and give added interest to the library. Miss
Hanley's love tor flowers inspired her to fill the window sills with the lovely pot plants that every student admires.
Willing to aid every student in "catalogue problems" are Miss Hanley's able assistants, Mrs. Woodbury, Misses Trammel], Black, Humphries, and Pee!er. Their teamwork makes our library the smoothly-running, expertly-organized place that it is.

An all-important group on campus is the Medical Staff, which works with the Physical Education department in seeing that every student is kept physically fit. Dr. Mar- garet V. Burns, completing her second year as college physician, has become an indispensable part of the college community. Through the attention and care she gives each student, she has kept the campus health-wise. This year Dr. Burns had a few cases of just about everything, from mumps to nervous exhaustion. Her unflagging cheer- fulness pulled her patients through all their ailments and established her reputation as a fine person.

Medical Staff
The busiest two people on the campus are Miss Caro- lyn Hewitt and Miss Caroline Dunbar, Resident Nurses, who have nursed many a Hottentot through numerous winter colds and "spring fevers." They make the in- firmary the efficient place it is and stand by as a symbol of comfort when sickness of anv sort threatens.
Mist Dunbar's sense of humor helps
make lime in the infirmary more

Physical Education
Fun and physical fitness for the college community are the aims of the Physical Education department. Through- out the year it offers to the students a wide variety of sports.
Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, Associate Professor of Physical Education, is in charge of the campus recreational activi- ties. She is especially interested in basketball and hockey, and is a favorite of the students.
Assistant Professor of Physical Education is Mrs. Har- riette Haynes Lapp, whose special interests are natural dancing and swimming. Her sweet and friendly disposi- tion have endeared her to evervone.
Miss Wilburn gets ready for a bad- minton game.

Hopefully, we rehearsed outdoors for
Investiture — but on THE day, it
rained.
Tissy 'Bout-Through went up in smoke as we wailed and groaned.
In an awed voice one of the freshmen told ine, "Aggie, those are the Seniors!" It seems that they've been here at Agnes Scott for four years, and they're leaving in June by some process known as graduation. Out of curiosity I snooped around to find out what had happened to them in those four years. They were a war class from the first, so they missed such things as stockings every night, formal dinners once a week, the Junior Banquet, and Senior Coffees. But they gained things, too. As •freshmen they were the first to be able to double-date (not even a chaperone?), and as juniors they could go to night movies in Decatur. This vear three seniors could go to Atlanta at night. Pretty independent gang, I'd say!
They even started a tradition. Instead of acting like children on Little Girls' Day, they had a picnic. Then they put on their long, black robes (over blue jeans), marched mournfully to the library, and burned an effigy of their childhood. Heavens, what peculiar customs civilized people have!
They had a lot of fun, those seniors, and they'll have a lot of memories to take home with them. I'm thoroughly convinced that college is a pretty good place to be!

Next I met the juniors. They've been here for three years and are pretty important, too. From what I hear, they started life as upperclassmen with a "bang"! In Septem- ber they were sponsors to the freshmen and helped them feel at home.. October came, and with it came the Black Cat Stunt and hockey games on Friday afternoons. At night they were the perfect hostesses at the junior "nite-

During the winter, basketball and swimming lured them to the gym for class competition. Thev didn't neg- lect social life, either, cause thev entertained the fresh- men at a tea and invited the whole college community to their Junior Joint in February. Mortar Board and the juniors together gave some swellelegant. off-campus par- ties for the freshmen (to which men were also invited!). For the first time since 1943 thev took time out from term papers, tests, and the "stacks" to have a Junior Banquet.
Now exams are over, and they gleefully tell me that next year, they — the class of '47 — will be "top men on the totem pole!" All of which means, I gather, that they'll be glad to be seniors!

The sophomore class is another "go-getting gang." I talked to several of them, and their history reads like a success story. In October they walked away with the Black Cat, a famous animal on campus. Hockey, basket- ball, and swimming events found the sophs right in the midst of things, fall and winter. Investiture for the seniors turned out to be a rainy day, but the sophs helped brighten things up a bit. The traditional daisy chain got them out of bed at daybreak and kept them busy all day before Class Day. (Now, daisy-picking is something that even I can enjoy!)
Since the war had left so many people homeless, the sophs and seniors together adopted a war orphan and sent money, letters, gifts, and friend- ship overseas to a small helpless boy.
Enterprising creatures, the sophs decided to have a "Pin-up" contest which would establish the supremacy of certain lucky male admirers of the fair student bodv. Good idea, I'd call it!
Oh, they led an interesting life, there's no doubt about it! Their fun- loving spirits and smooth efficiency made an indefinable, but happy addi- tion to the life of the whole campus and the college.

Night-study.
Well, now we're getting clown into my range! These freshmen were as new to Agnes Scott in September as I was, and we discovered the college together. I helped them in October on the Black Cat Stunt (at least, I yelled with them! ). and in spite of not winning we had a lot of fun. They started to classes and got into the swing of things early in the quarter, showing great promise both in academic and athletic matters. In Novem- ber they elected officers and really got organized as a class. Then came exams . . .
The New Year got a good start with a big freshman party which was a huge success. Then interest groups in drama, music, and literature began to claim a large share of interest. ( I went to all of them. I couldn't bear to leave one out!)
Lo and behold, they walked away with all sorts of athletic prizes, including first place in the big swimming meet!
You can easilv see that this class was a "humdinger," and I — ahem! — am proud to be classified as Aggie Hottentot, Freshman.
All those people to sec one pal off ft a week-end?
Well-l-U . . . every class has at least ONE moron.

Sunkes and Louisa pause for breath.
As Junior Editor of the Silhouette, I can speak from experience when I say that the staff goes on the run all year! The photographer and I carried flash bulbs around all fall, taking pictures of everything! Then the staff got together, and we decided where to put the pictures after we got them! I was sort of a secret, so they made me hide until the Silhouette came out!
But by golly, I managed to get my picture on nearly every page, and I'm certainly doing all the talking. We hope we've given you a complete and lively survey of college life — we certainly enjoyed collecting it! For compliments or complaints, please see me in my pri- vate office in the mop closet downstairs in Murphey Candler.

"Snooping should be right in your line," they told me as they made me silent partner on the gossip column of the Agnes Scott News. From there on, my life revolved madly around keyholes, typewriters, and Tuesday dead- lines. My first snooping included discovering that the theme of the paper this year was NEWS and that they made several big campus scoops. After people asked me pointedly, "Is your mind campused?" I realized that the News was also having a campaign to challenge thought among the students.
This year marked the thirtieth anniversary for the paper, and the photostat of the first paper in the birthday issue made me realize what a progressive newsheet it really is!

77i<? BRIGHT LIGHTS of the Aurora! . . . Let to right: Mary Beth Little, Carroll Taylor, Bet Patterson, Alice Davidson, Pagie Violette, 'Phia Pedakis, Ruth Simpson, Anne Murrell, Joan Crangle.
"The Aurora/' they said, "is the campus literary maga- zine." It contains stories, poems, and articles written hy students who have talent for writing. ( I turned in an article on African hair-styles, but they couldn't decipher my diagrams!) This year it contained special write-ups of important world problems by the mem- bers of the debating club as an added feature, and
they really put the campus up to date. A special book- review page whetted interest in good books, too, and everyone is making a list of things they're going to read "when summer comes." I hope you'll pardon my sense of humor when I say that the Aurora reminds me of the Aurora Borealis 'cause they're both bright lights!
Members of Folio, the Freshman writing club, look forward to wider creative activities next year. . . . Seated on the floor: Mary Price, Anne Mason, "Easy" Beale. . . . Seated on the sofa: Jo Snow, Nancy Dendy, Lorton Lee, Katherine Geffcken, Beverly Baldwin, Hunt Morris.

My first real acquaintance with democracy was Student Govern- ment. The girls enforce their own rules here, and it really works. They told me, "Student Government is You." I sauntered around to find out what they meant. Th talks during Student Government Week informed me that every girl is a part of the honor system and the governing body. 1 approve of a government that gives parties like "The Fair," which had everything, including fortune- tellers, hot dogs, and freaks. (People kept mistaking me for a freak, can you imagine?)
My Junior Sponsor showed me around and really got me ac- quainted with the ins and outs of collegiate life. The only draw- back was hand-book classes, but I guess everyone has to learn the rules sometime.
In December I stowed away in the president's suitcase and went up to the Student Government Convention at Furman University. You know how conventions are, everyone talking their heads off about problems, honor systems, and elections!
This spring everyone voted to rejoin the National Student Fed- eration of America. "Something like the League of Nations?" I asked, and they told me it was students from colleges all over the country.
So you see, because of all this, democracy gets my vote!

Dot has found her niche in student activities as President of C.A.
To find a beginning for Christian Association's many activities isn't easy. I guess it all started with us, the bewildered Freshman. C.A.'s guarding eye and helping hand saw that the "filling station" supper "for the campus newcomers fulfilled its purpose, and then turned to the Interior Decoration Clinic which resulted in the rejuvenation of Inman. On the more serious side, we seekers of knowledge were satisfied by the interest groups in music, literature and dramatics.
Then for everybody C.A. had morning watch, Tuesday chapel periods, and even turned publisher by compiling a campus devo- tional booklet, plus a booklet containing notes from the significant campus speeches during the year. The highlight of the year was the Campus Mission week with four visiting speakers.
With organizations such as this on our campus, I say with C.A., "Guard what has been entrusted to you."

"Mortar Board," I mused. "Wonder if it could be a special brick-laying committee or something?" But someone told me that it is the honorary organization for outstanding senior lead- ers. The members are chosen for scholarship (that lets me out!), leadership, and service.
I snooped around and found a reading room in Bebekah that thev sponsor. After looking at pictures for a while, I fol- lowed a gang of seniors and engaged girls to Mortar Board's marriage class. But thev wouldn't let me in, cause I didn't
have a ring. (The only ring I ever had was the one I used to wear in my nose! ) They did invite me to one of their wonderful parties for underclassmen, though.
On Sunday night I loved to go to the open house in Murphy Candler. Social Standards Committee, created By Mortar Board, takes charge of it, and the fun-and-food are wonderful!
On top of all this, Mortar Board supports the English lectures. Art Appreciation half-hours, and Book Week. Now I see why the members are top-notch people!

Phi Beta Kappa
Now, the organization with more brains than brawn is Phi Beta Kappa! Agnes Scott has had a chapter since 1926, and every spring several seniors with outstanding scholarship get elected to it. ( I applied for membership, but they tell me that you have to study to belong — so I withdrew! ) I discovered that Agnes Scott was the ninth women's college to have a chapter — hmm, sounds as if there were some fairly intelligent gals around! Any- way, Phi Beta Kappa promotes cultural interests on the campus and it's a really fine organization.

Take it from one who knows - war is no fun. And now I'm all out for a peace that will mend the world for s;ood and all. The best way we Hottentots could express such sentiments was through the War Council - or really the Rehabilitation (Heavens! what a word) Council. That's the campus organization that gives us the chance to give food and clothing to UNRRA, nickels and dimes to the Red Cross, the United War Fund, and the World Student Fund - all the worthy causes in need of a little help from us. They made me
General in charge of collecting nickels and dimes - just call me General Solicitor!
And money isn't all that we can give - sometimes a little time can be even more worthwhile. At least that's what the bovs at Lawson Hospital tell us. And it wasn't only the boys who had fun at their dances. We Hottentots loved those Thursday night visits!
War Council, you see, has its serious and its lighter sides, and they both give us an opportunity to be useful citizens of our world.

Lecture Association
Now this is a case where, in spite of my talkative ways, I must sit back and listen. But who minds listening when such famous people as Marquis Childs and Emile Calliet and the Hottentots' "own poet," Robert Frost, are doing the talking? That's what Lecture Association does for us — gives us a chance to hear, right here on our own campus, the people we read about but never dream of seeing. Lecture Associa- tion is something special to the Agnes Scott campus. It strives to satisfy our intellectual curiosity by exposing us to the "men of the times," and it has been my favorite way of learning just who's who and what's what in this far-away land.
Bet Long Sale, president, has reason

Eta Sigma Phi
Euripides — now who is he? That's what I asked the Eta Sigma Phi members. They're the campus classicists, the Greek and Latin students. They know a lot about classical philosophy and literature, 'cause I listened in on one of their meetings and heard them discussing it. My jungle back- ground left me a little dubious about all these big words and ideas. But I soon learned, first hand, about the good times these Eta Sigma Phi scholars could have. Not only the campus benefited by their enthusiasm, but also the local high schools. (They gave the top students prizes.) Confidentially, I'm even thinking of going "back to the Creeks" myself.

The science hall rocked with the results of my interest in test tubes and levers! How was I to know that sodium and water wouldn't mix? It was an honest effort on my part to prove my interest in science, one of the requirements of Chi Beta Phi members. Oh, so much did I want to be one of the sixteen members invited to join what the science scholars call their national
honorary scientific fraternity. Of course I couldn't expect to be recognized as an outstanding stu- dent in biology, chemistry, or physics — but as I was saying — my interest is sincere. So I'll listen attentively to the visiting speakers, and maybe next year they'll invite me to the banquet for new members. Yum — always thinking about food.

Memories of the tribal war-paint flashed across my excited mind when the production members of Blackfriars prepared me for my stage debut. Dramatics come easy to people like me; so they considered me a "natural" for the Hottentot's dramatic club. They even let me play Hamlet — in the privacy of a meeting! Those meetings — weren't they fun? Business was just a minor detail when you had parties and one-act skits to look forward to. Then, of course, there were the major productions. We had a wonderful time among ourselves producing "Pride and Prejudice" and "Hotel Universe;" I was back stage giving cues, working lights, and swinging on the curtain ropes. Ah, those proverbial lights of Broadway are really bringing out the native in me.

My jungle chants did little more than add variety to the Glee Club repertoire. I have suspected that it was the song in my heart that carried me through the Christmas Carol program and the production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance." But maybe the Georgia Tech warriors who joined us for both events could be con- sidered a better source of inspiration. One way or the other, there was always music in the air wherever Glee Club members may have wandered. In chapel we were the choir, at Lawson Hospital and the Army Camps at least part of us were the Hotten- tots' Special Chorus, and at the Georgia Tech Concert we were just the Glee Club. Obviously we got around — and had such fun doing it!

Wandering through Buttrick unconcernedly one afternoon, I happened upon an amazing scene. Huge splotches of bright colors and paints and brushes sur- rounded me. To my surprise I was told that this was the art lab. As for all the people there — they were members of the Fine Arts League. My qualifications to join their meetings, so they told me, need only be an interest in anything from drawing and painting to sculpturing and architecture, and they would see to it that my knowledge of such was furthered. Sounded good to me then — and better after hearing lecturers like Philip R. Noble, Emil Holzhauer and Dr. Richard Aldrich. I'm taking a brush and palate home with me — after all, paint comes in handy sometimes in more ways than one.

String Ensemble
Stringed instruments and woodwinds I knew nothing about — the drum and chant had been my only exposure to music. But Mr. Dieckmann and his String Ensemble (what titles these Hottentots fancy) soon charmed me with music that soothed my native restlessness and re- laxed these weary bones. For a busy Hottentot it was always a welcome treat. And another thing I liked about this String Ensemble — there was no such thing among them as government and taxes — those two worry-birds of life in these United States. Nope, no officers or dues among these new-found friends. That's music to these ears.

Pi Alpha Phi
The jargon of these college gals is bad enough, but i believe that the big and proper words (when they use them) are even worse. I was a bit bewildered at Pi Alpha Phi meetings where the debaters said everything just right. Of course Free Trade, the main topic of dis- cussion, is of special interest to me, who could easily be considered an import. Although Free Trade took the floor at all the big tournaments, like Pi Alpha Phi's own All Southern Tourna- ment right here, there were lots of smaller de- bates among the club members at the meetings. The special debate teams even went to the Grand-Eastern Tournament in Charlotte. Al- though I couldn't handle such fancy stuff, my education wouldn't be complete without Pi Alpha Phi.

International Relations Club was right up my alley. They had up-to-date news from all parts of the world, and I found out what v/as happening at home. The girls in the club must be practicing up for diplomatic service, 'cause members gave talks about inter- national affairs and guest speakers did, too. You know, it's easier to understand some of the customs you run into in different coun- tries after they are explained at I.R.C. meetings. Of course world affairs didn't occupy us all the time. We had a picnic, too, with all the trimmings — Hot dog! Well, anyway, as far as I'm con- cerned, the place to go for better understanding of the world we live in is to club meetings with the I.R.C.

This year the club gave Blackfriars some keen competition with a colorful Spanish play and musical, "Fiesta de la Flor." Of course, I didn't understand a word of it, but the action spoke for itself! The club really got started this year, and the whole campus says, "Muchas gracias," for their contributions to school life.

But fun wasn't all diat the club had to offer; the knowledge of the French language and customs that I acquired was amazing. Maybe it's me who's amazing, who knows? But probably it was the French Club meetings. ( That's the way most people would look at it! ) Just listen to me parler la langue — Tres bien, don't you think?

B. D. Z
Obviously, I'm not a writer, but I do love to try my hand at it; so they told me that B. O. Z. was just what I was looking for. How right they were! Learning to write was one thing — then learning to read what I had written was another. But B. O. Z. meetings offered ample opportunity to practice both. ( See how an education can improve your vocabulary?) As I was saying, it was at the B. O. Z. meetings that we creative writers laid ourselves wide open lor criticism — and loved it!

Reason, not rhyme introduced me to the Poetry Club. My reasons for being there were much better than my rhymes. I recognized an oppor- tunity for a little thoughtful entertainment here. Everyone had fun when the aspiring poets prac- ticed their talents and shared them with their equally talented fellow members. This hap- pened once a month when yours truly, a straight prose immigrant, was given a seat in the corner in Miss Laney's "meeting parlor" to try to absorb a little of the poetry and a little of the criticism.

Bible Club members helped me to understand the spirit- ual ideal of the Agnes Scott campus. The work or these girls carries with it the same spirit as that of the mis- sionaries in my country, and I've loved every minute I've spent with them. Our meetings were usually informal discussions about different phases of the Bible. First we studied the Sermon on the Mount, then the Book of James. And we had our lighter side too, the Fellowship Picnic. Such good times and so worthwhile! College life wouldn't be complete without these gals.

Cotillion Club members issued the invitation to me and to all the others whose dancing feet were getting itchy and whose social life was needing a little build-up.

We had a party too — with men. Ah, me. Such fun. Africa was never like this! I've learned to waltz, rumba, tango, and fox-trot — just wait till the kids at home see that!

After all, this Hottentot business started in my own back yard, so to speak. That's what I was telling them on Founder's Day when the Granddaughters sponsored a full day's entertainment for Alumnae, including a radio program (where I come from the only wireless is a drum-to-drum hook-up). The tales told about former Hotten- tots at club meetings will never cease to amaze me — or the daugh- ters who tell them. Time marches on!

Association
"It's Monday night and time for me to go to visit A. A. Board meeting. Let me tell you about Athletic Association. It is an organization which includes all of the Agnes Scott students. The purpose of A. A. is to promote interest in athletic and recreational activities among the students and to provide entertainment for the college community.
The Athletic Board, composed of four txecutive officers and the managers of the various sports, governs A. A.'s activities. This year's activities opened with a "Sports Nite." Everyone was in- vited down to the gym to swim, play volleyball, dance, eat, and to meet the leaders of A. A. On Halloween students gathered around a big bonfire by the gym and sang and ate apples. In the winter quarter A. A. sponsored a benefit bridge tournament to raise money to obtain outside basketball referees. Later in Feb- ruary "open house" was held at the gym where everyone played waterpolo or badminton, and ate. One of the highlights was A. A.'s chapel program when Lynford Keyes, assistant professor of physical education at Georgia Tech, spoke to the student body about the need for exercise and the effects of a large amount of calories.
This year the "Blue Horse" campaign was continued. It is hoped to have a squadron of bicycles on campus soon. A Bowling Club was begun this year and put on a trial basis. As yet, it has no manager on board.
All the members of class teams or athletic clubs were invited to the annual spring banquet when the new officers were installed. They closed a very successful athletic year."

That's all folks! Miss WiTburn blows the closing whistle
"Oh! What a beautiful big green field! What do they play out here?" "Hockey." "What's that?" "Well, Aggie, it's a long story, but here's what happened out here this year. The season started with the sister classes joining to play on the Friday before the stunt. The senior-sophomore combined team de- feated the junior-freshman team. In ihe following six weeks the interclass series was played. The senior team won in the series, winning five and losing one game. The freshmen began to be a threat at the end of the season, and they should do very well next year.
The varsity and sub-varsity teams were announced on No- vember 23. The game between the two teams was played on November 30. The score was: Varsity 4, Sub-Varsity 0. At this time the hockey stick was awarded by the senior team to the most outstanding sophomore player — Edna Claire Cun- ningham.
This year's most unusual event was the joint game with the University of Ceorgia Hockey Club. The team came on De- cember 7 and spent the afternoon on campus. The game was

non-competitive, so the teams were joined — the Georgia backs and Agnes Scott forwards played the Agnes Scott backs and Georgia forwards. The experiment was successful, and both teams enjoyed it.
The Varsity-Faculty game was not held this year. In place ;>f it, the Agnes Scott Hockey Club, composed of faculty, alumnae, and friends, played the Sub- Varsity on December 7."

"But what can you do for recreation on those cold winter nights?" I inquire in a snoop>' voice. "Well, there's the highlight of the winter sport season — basketball. The 1946 season opened with a match between the seniors and juniors, the sophomores and freshmen. The managers of each team, blind- folded, "chose" their opponent, after much coaxing from the sidelines. This first thrilling game set the fast pace that was maintained throughout the entire season.
Following the example set last year, outside referees officiated at each game. They were secured through funds raised at the Athletic Associa- tion bridge narty.
The four class teams were rather evenly matched; so each game was a thriller to the spectators. Each class showed exceptionally high spirit, and large crowds cheered the teams. After a close race, the freshmen and juniors tied for first place. The climax of the season came with the varsity- sub-varsity game. The varsity had to keep on its toes to stay ahead of the fighting sub-varsity. Speaking of toes, there was a shoe contest between the halves of this game, and Nellie Scott became the proud possessor of a brand new pair of saddle shoes.
Some of the most exciting games of the year were played by the class B teams. With so much interest aroused by increased participation in games. next year's games should be tops in the sport light."

"I'm so warm." I said and sighed. "'Let's stop by the pool and talk to Seotty about the swimming club." During the fall quarter Swimming Club together with other outstanding swimmers worked on formations to be used in the annual pageant which was presented on November 27 and 28. The theme of the pageant was Christmas, and the swimmers represented Santa Claus, his elves and Christmas toys. The costumes carried out the theme, and the music was favorite yuletide songs. The final formation was swum with candles.
Winter quarter tryouts were held for new members. On the
basis of unusually good form, speed and endurance, and a knowledge of life saving and artificial respiration. Bunny Bran- nan, Betty Blackmon. Binky Stubbs, Jean Fraser, Ann Hayes, Jane Barker, and Ruth Richardson were accepted.
On February 7 the first inter-class swimming meet was held. The events included form swimming, speed swimming, free- style dashes and relays, and diving. Miss Yogell from the University of Georgia and Mr. Ed Shea from Emory came over to judge with Mrs. Lapp. The sophomores placed first and the freshmen were second. The class managers who were respon- sible for the success of the meet were Bunny Brannan, freshman; Ann Sproesser, sophomore; Cooky Miller and Janet Liddell, junior; and Bettye Lee Phelps, senior. This was the only meet which counted for points towards the athletic cup which is awarded to the class winning the most athletic points during the year.
During the spring quarter Swimming Club sponsored an exhibition of swimming and diving for the annual High School day. Also during the final quarter, junior-senior and sophomore- freshmen teams competed in a swimming meet for fun.
The pool, always popular with students seeking to relieve tensions and to relax after classes and labs, was in constant use this year, and many developed new strokes and smoothed out the rough ed^es on the old ones.

Snapped on the tennis court is Scotty Johnson, tennis manager.
"Love-15— what can that mean? Love fifteen! That's entirely too many where I come from. Let me see. These must he the tennis courts they told me about. Yes, that's it — courts, love. Here comes one of the members now. so maybe I can learn something about this wonderful club."
"Yes, Aggie, we are members of the tennis club. We play tennis here on the courts in the fall until cold weather comes. This fall we started a doubles tourna- ment, but rainy days prevented us finishing it. We did help a lot of new students to develop form, footwork, and to learn and understand the rules of the game. This spring we held tryouts for girls who wished to become members. You see, our members are selected for enthusiasm and interest, playing ability, and willingness to cooperate in helping others. Look over on the far court. The girl in white is helping the freshman brush up on her backhand and her serve. It's lots of fun to help others, but the greatest thrill comes in playing an evenly matched game. The girls on this court are playing the semi-finals in the singles tournament. They do not have to be members of the tennis club to enter the tournament. In fact, we try to get as many people to enter as possible, because the more the merrier. Everyone is interested in the finals match; so there should be a big crowd of spectators here."
"Well, I'm really interested. I'll come and lead the cheers. I can hear the crowd yelling 'Love-15." What fun!"
"Aggie, you've caught the spirit, if not the sense, of the tennis club."

"Now where could they be going — those girls with the blue jeans, sleeping bags, and food?" I asked. "They are members of the Outing Club starting out on an overnight hike. Just wait until you see them tomorrow! Tired but happy after a long hike, supper around the campfire, long talk and little sleep, they'll return. To become a member you must pass a test on fundamental nature lore and first aid and show real enthusiasm for long hikes and outdoor cooking."
Riding
"Whoa, halt, stop - help! Oh, Mrs. Lapp! How can I get back on? Oh. what they told me about riding! They said it was one of the most popular fall and spring activities. Beginners learn the thrill of good riding in the training ring while advanced riders take to die trails for long jaunts. The highlights of the season come in the horse shows in which the form and skill perfected through practice is demonstrated to the crowds of spec- tators. Riders rejoice when they hear 'The horses are here!' Well, I'd be glad if this horse were here under me! There he goes — oh, Mrs. Lapp!"

Archery
"Whiz! Bang! 'Bull's-eye.' Great Agnes Scott! Are they practicing to kill each other? Just what are they doing? They must be members of the Archery Club that during the season 1945-46 has tried to increase the interest in archery among the student body. Among its acthities has been the organization of an archery team for members of the club who attain an exceptional skill. These mem- bers of the club have continued practice during spring quarter to improve their skill further so that they might place high in the annual Telegraphic Tournament for collegiate groups."
Members of the archery class aim for the target.

Volleyball
"That net's too high. My, I get more confused by the hour. Hey, miss, what gives out here? ( That's "jive" for what is happening? ) What funny basketball — no basket." "That's not basketball or tennis, Aggie, that's the queen of spring competitive sports, Volley Ball. Class teams battle their way through the spring. Volley ball, a comparatively new sport on campus, is gradually tak- ing its place with hockey and basketball. In the long spring afternoons, girls gather at the nets on the hockey field to try their hand at a game which requires real skill. If it rains, which it does, practices are held indoors, but the fun and excitement of a fast volley ball game is the same indoors and out."
Bowling
"Why don't you stay in the gym today? What sport can you plav in Decatur that you can't play right here? Gosh, they don't even listen to me. There go about twelve of 'em — off to Decatur. Those girls belong to the bowling club, the "baby" athletic organization on campus. It was just started this year as a trial organiza- tion and if successful, it will become a full-fledged mem- ber of Athletic Association with a member on A. A. Board. The purpose of the club is to promote more interest and skill in bowling. Members are supposed to bowl at least once a week to develop skill so that later some may enter the National Bowling Tournament."
Badminton Club
"Why, this is a lot like indoor tennis — what are they playing?" "These are the members of the Badminton Club, Aggie. Badminton Club this year has tried to in- terest die campus in the game of badminton as recreation for fun and fitness, since it is suitable for many occasions in college and throughout later life. The club began its meetings in the fall and played once a week during winter quarter.
In addition to the annual doubles tournament, the club sponsored a singles tournament, won by Mac Craig, and Carolyn Gilchrist defended their title for the doubles championship.
The campus joined Badminton Club at open house in the gym twice during the year when exhibition games were played by club members.
Miss Ames, the instructor, won in a mixed doubles tourney at the Atlanta Athletic Club."

The DancG Group
"Come down to the gym any Thursday night to watch us practice, Aggie, " suggested Miss Eugenie Dozier, leader of the dance group. "But I don't like Ballet," I wailed. "The more reason you should go, Aggie! The dance group, composed of students and alumnae are trying to develop campus interest in the dance, and to make dancing an integral part of the campus. During the fall, they studied classic ballet. During the winter, they practiced the dance recital which was given as a climax of the year's work. Through their efforts, modern, classic, and folk dancing has been presented to the campus in a truly delightful and artistic manner."
Grace in dancing comes only through hard practice. M. J. Gower, D. Gard- ner, D. Bennett, V. Dickson, A. Mur- rell, and P. Wilhnon work hard.

Happy owners of the Agnes Scott Pin and Guard are Scotty Johnson, Sally Sue Stephenson, Sarah Walker, Bettye Lee Phelps, and Ann Hough.
Wearers of the Pin and Guard
"Oh," I screamed, "those adorable pins — A. S. — that must stand for Agnes Scott. Why do so many girls here at the gym wear them?"
"Well, Aggie," Sarah replied, "Winter and spring quarter each year, A. S. pins and guards are awarded to the girls who have accumulated the required number of points in athletics. The number of points that even a pin requires, is 1600, and a guard may be obtained with an additional 1200 points.

we arrived. Yes, we arrived, a bit bewildered and a little in awe of the girls who screamed and yelled and hugged and kissed each other in a performance that couldn't even be equalled by any of my friends or relatives! Maybe we of the original Hottentot clan are not nearly as heathen as legend makes us out to be. Of course that three day siege of waiting in lines for anydiing and everything you wanted was a little discouraging, but once we were settled we really buzzed along. Miss Scandrett took me under her wing and sent me off on a rollicking start. Over in Inman we newcomers soon fell into the swing of college life, and the old girls backed us up all the way. Ah, college days — there is nothing like them, I am convinced. Even our introduction to real "book-learning" was a thrill to one of my background. Whee, wait till I write home about this — our drum-to-drum hook-up will really beat it out to all parts of our jungle!"

things started popping. Everything from the hockey games to the Black Cat Stunt kept us running. There is no end to the activity around here — leaves me rather speechless. No, I guess that's impossible. But. anyway, take this game called hockey, with sticks, balls, and screaming girls even- where on that huge field — how I wish the folks back home could see it! Our tribal wars are calm in comparison. And then the Black Cat Stunt — that was the highlight of the month. The Freshmen and Sophomores really battled it out. For weeks everyone whispered class secrets, and for weeks everyone painted, rehearsed, collected properties, and did all the other jobs required for this "stunt of all stunts."' The big night came and the Sophomores won — but not without competition. We Freshmen are still a little awed by this life, I have to admit, although we do our best to give the impression of old-timers."

my calendar was jam-packed full of things to do. We didn't stop long enough to catch a breath; it was just one thing after another. With me giving die cues from backstage, Blackfriars presented "Pride and Prejudice" — a superb performance. The equestriennes displayed their talents at the first Agnes Scott horseshow in many a year. Cotillion Club had their wonderful party over at the Tea House— with men. Pi Alpha Phi played hostess to the All Southern Debate Tournament, another new annual event on our campus. It was the Seniors' month really. "Tissy 'Bout Through" for them, and they burned the effigy the night before Investiture to prove it. What a gruesome sight that was! Then the rains came for Investiture, but no spirits were dampened. The Seniors were die happy gals. And so another month was marked off the little C. A. calendar and we were off to new adventures "

And with snow on the ground the Swimming Club presented its Christmas Pageant. What a wonderful sight that was! I bet there aren't main- people who have seen Santa Clans in a bathing suit. Brrr! Of course the Christmas Holidays were the 'dream of the month,' but before we dared shut our eyes there were several obstacles to overcome — such as exams! For us Freshman these were the first, and I'll have to admit that my knees turned to water when Miss Jackson asked us to trace the history of the church. But we managed to survive the week, and then it was only a matter of how fast the taxi could carry us to the station before we were boarding the train for the sentimental journey home. Of course my 'home" was with friends this time, but it was a 'Merry' Christmas for all and for all a good night.' "

we were tempted to fall into the depths of mid-winter despondency, which seemed inevitable after such a won- derful three weeks Christmas vacation. But we Freshman were kept too busy even to think about home. This was really our month. First there were the parties sponsored by Mortar Board and given by our 'big sisters,' the Juniors. There were barn dances, hayrides, and picnics — all with men. Who could ask for anything more? Then the Junior Class gave a tea for us over in Murphey Candler, and we got all dressed up in our party clothes to enjoy this extra hospitality. I was 'specially busy, 'cause the Silhouette snap-shot contest gave me a chance to snoop into everyone's collection and get some good blackmail material! You can see that it was a busy time, not considering the fact that books and papers were staring us in the face. But then, that's all a part of college life, and we love it."

the campus really saw action. Life arid spirits started picking up. and everybody was working on either the junior Joint or the swimming meet. There wasn't a dull moment. Lecture Association brought both Dr. Lowry and 'our own' Robert Frost to talk to us. On Founder's Day Agnes Scott broke into the news with a radio program. This was the month for Valentines too, and I wish everyone could have seen the dietitian's handiwork in the dining room for our Valentine's Dav dinner. It was really a work of art. Of course the Junior Joint was the big event of the month. We all took a journey Through the Looking Glass' and found Alice in Wonderland in the KVm. This was another time for the Freshmen to shine, too — our King and Queen won. Then came the swimming meet, the only one of the year; so everybody worked hard to win. It was the Sophomores who came out on top! Now everyone has settled clown for the next event on the calendar - another set of exams. And so it goes. '

we had a busy time — like every other month only more so. When exams and vacations come all at once, it's inevitable that the Hottentots will be in a dither, and we were! First, we watched the Dance Group trip the light fantastic on the stage of Presser in their interpretation of Chopin's 'Les Sylphydes' and Liszt's 'Hungarian Rhapsody.' Then we left the aesthetic to return to the reality of examinations. But we quickly con- quered them and dashed for the quickest mode of transportation to cany us home for six unforgettable clays of vacation. Of course all good things must come to an end, and we were soon back behind the books again, with only sentimental memories of home. But before March roared out, the Glee Club did itself proud in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance.' Collaborating with the Georgia Tech boys, they performed both here and at Tech. And so another month was but a memory with the thoughts of spring ahead."

the flowers popped up, the dogwood bloomed, and fancies turned to thoughts of - what else! In other words, spring was here. But of course classes continued to beckon us to Buttrick and the Science Hall, and the Library continued its role of an irresistible force. That is the inevitable part of this college life. But there were such things as Blackfriars' produc- tion of 'Hotel Universe' to take our minds oft our troubles. And the big moment for the Juniors, the first Junior Banquet in three years, came oft in top style -with dancing in Murphey Candler (the first on the Agnes Scott campus) after filet mignon. What a thrill that was! The English department brought the inimitable John Mason Brown to inform us of the latest in literature and drama. All in all we enjoyed those four weeks, but spring or winter there is one thing that continues to puzzle me about Georgia:
Spring is sprung,
The grass is riz,
I wonder where the sunshine is. But then I comfort myself with the thought:
April showers

the world was beautiful, life was exciting, and school was rushing to a climax. Early in the month we went 'back to the Greeks' for May-Day. We had not only the Queen and her lovely maids, but also every god and goddess on Olympus throned in glory. For the Seniorpolitan Opera we went clear up to the moon. Oh, we really got around in May, believe me! Reinhold Neibuhr, philosopher and lecturer extraordinary, returned to the campus for another provocative address. A lucky few were tapped and initiated into that most mysterious of all organizations - Phi Beta Kappa. But the thing that really impressed me was incessant exam-tak- ing! Sophs and seniors spent two solid days gnawing pencils and tearing hair over experimental graduate record exams. Then the seniors plunged into those final finals. Underclassmen followed suit a week later, and then — summer! June, graduation, weddings, house-parties, and the happy memories of my first year at Agnes Scott."

Wedding Memories
THFff7! is no event in life quite so important as the wedding. As such it is deserving of all the dignified atmosphere with which it is surrounded, and every detail in its celebration is worthy of meticulous attention. Of these, none reflects more distinction than the quality and character of the wedding stationery. Stevens' genuine engraving and Crane's fine papers confer this distinction with that grace and assurance that comes from more than 60 years of producing fine engraved stationery.
LONG in the memory of the bride will be the happy recollectior that her wedding cards were perfect in every detail, reflecting her own taste and personality. May we help you in this im- portant feature of your wedding?
