DEDICATION

to the student

We sit in the sun and dream of a future that will be brighter
because of Oglethorpe.

The dorm is a great part of our college life . . . "our" room is
something special . . . where we study, write home and find
that extra bit of security . . .

Where companionship is the warmest.

**x

We sing with our voices, and we sing with our faces, which often reflect the song in

our hearts

The lighter moments

The seriousness of our effort is re-
flected by the long hours of study

1KI I"

The show must go on, come high water, that "other" thing, or
tomorrow's quiz

Another mood . . .

e eat ... we converse ... we think . . . but mostly we eat

Parties and dances give us the change-of-pace that gives balance to our college life

The dancing is often slow, with that smooth beat that sets a mood .

But just as often we swing it, with a beat.

Our hope for the future can be seen in faces that reflect the vitality of
youth, the energy of our generation, and its strong conviction for a
good tomorrow. We accept the responsibility before us with confidence
and humility; and we are grateful for the education that will make our
tomorrow richer in understanding, richer in accomplishment, and richer
in service. "To live is to learn, to learn is to know, and to know is
to live."

ACTIVITIES

New and old acquaintances enjoy dancing

The Get-Acquaintcd Party

At the Get-Acquainted Party, the first event of the
year, Freshmen and new students were introduced to
the social life of Oglethorpe University. Music was
provided by Charlie Smith and his boys. The dance
was co-sponsored by the Social Committee and the
Student Council.

The Barbeque is traditional at Oglethorpe Univer-
sity. Each year the students and their parents, along
with the faculty, are invited to attend. The function
of the Barbeque is to familiarize the students and their
families with the Oglethorpe campus, the students,
and the faculty.

Rat Week

Upon the head of each freshman, be they male or female, a cap of
unmistakable identification is placed. And before him lies the week to
be remembered above all others. Just to make him feel at home on the
Oglethorpe campus the "Rat" goes through Rat Week by experiencing
from the funniest to the wildest degradations. He must "hop, skip, and
jump" at the slightest beckoning of an honorable upperclassman. De-
spite tired bones and weary muscles, he manages to come through, but
definitely not alone, for the lasting friendships made are countless.

As one "Rat" who made it through the trials said —

"The chairs of highest glory —
held by upperclassmen;
The sentences of utter gory —
given by upperclassmen;
Combine to make a friendship
offered by upperclassmen."

The Capping Ceremony

Bob Oliver, President of the Class of 1957, is capped
by Dr. George C. Seward, Dean of the University

The Senior Capping Ceremony, held in October, marks the
beginning of that "final year"; designates the Seniors, and
this year introduced Oglethorpe's new President, Donald R.
Wilson. Though the actual capping is enhanced by formality
it still clings to the individuality Oglethorpe proposes. The
President's stressing point man's understanding of his fellow-
man only furthers the goals sought by the University.

The President s Reception

In honor of President and Mrs. Wilson and the new mem-
bers of the faculty and the administrative staff, a reception was
given in Phoebe Hearst's Great Hall. This was held following
the Capping Ceremony, and served as a rather informal intro-
duction for all "new faces."

The Masquerade Party

The Masquerade Party on October twenty-sixth turned
out to be a re-enactment of Custer's Last Stand, for the Indians
proved victorious over the vanquished whiteman. In a contest
to choose the most original costumes John Harms and Sandy
Carter, dressed as an Indian chieftain and his squaw, defeated
all opponents, including cowboys, ghosts, and Romans.

A juggling act by Dennis Michael enhanced the atmosphere
of the Masquerade Party which contributed to the Halloween
spirit on Oglethorpe campus.

Oh goodie .

The Ghost Story Readings

To add to the Halloween spirit the Ghost Story
Readings were cleverly and weirdly handled by mem-
bers of the Arts Club. The readings were definitely
declared an eerie success as expressions of shock and
horror were witnessed by those more stable students.

Dr. Stanley Daugert reading

The Freshman Hayride

Hay, harmony, and hotdogs kept the spirits high
at the traditional Freshman Hayride which was threat-
ened by rain and cold weather. The destination was
a picnic area at Austell, Georgia, where the frostbitten
hayriders toasted marshmallows, hotdogs, with fingers
and toes.

'Where areywu?"

Guaranteed, untouched by human hands

The Sadie Hawkins Day Dance

Sadie Hawkins' Day provides those of the supposed weaker sex with
the opportunity to openly pursue the objects of their affections — MEN.
To accommodate the female students of Oglethorpe University, a Sadie
Hawkins Dance was held in the game room on November sixteenth.

Entertainment, other than the cat and mouse chase, included the
triumphant marriage ceremony of Daisy Mae and Li'l Abner, performed
by the "Reverned" Dr. Hodges.

The Christmas Formal

Always a favorite among school functions is the
Christmas Formal. This year was no different, as the
Christmas spirit was really evident at the Biltmore
Ball Room. The music of Arnold Hyde provided the
atmosphere, and the students supplied the fun.

The Boa/s Head Ceremony

The traditional Boar's Head Ceremony, annually held at Christmas-
tide, was the occasion for the initiation of new members of the Boar's
Head Honorary Fraternity for 1956-1957. The title of the Fraternity
is taken from the coat of arms of Oglethorpe University, the Boar's
Head being a prominent part of the escutcheon.

The ceremony included the presentation of the new Boar's Head
members, singing by the choral group and Ila Varelmann, and other
musical performances by members of the faculty and faculty wives.

The Freshmen Sin Den

Dancing to the rhythm of the jukebox

Troubles, we've got troubles; we've got stacks and stacks of troubles

"What's behind the Green Door?" This question was fired
at the Freshman Class officers for an entire week preceding the
Freshman Sin Den. Amid the atmosphere of a cellar tavern,
Oglethorpe students poured out what troubles they had to a
bartender, danced, and enjoyed a skit presented by the Literary
Society wherein the queen of that "notorious" group was
crowned.

Annie, Queen of the Literary Society

The Sin Den

Mountain music, full skirts, straw hats, and apple
cider — the atmosphere for a good ole country hoe-
down. Even well-rounded Oglethorpe students came
to the square dance, do-se-do and prominaded.

In between the square dances, soft lights and sweet
music gave the dancers a chance to cool off and catch
their breath for the next round of swinging partners.

LORD AND LADY
OGLETHORPE BALL

The Lord and Lady Oglethorpe Ball was held in the Pom-
peiian Room at the Biltmore Hotel.

Friday, February 14 was the day the Student Body made
their selection of Lord and Lady Oglethorpe and their court.

That night the results of the election were made known as
the Processional started and the Lord and Lady were crowned.

STUNT NIGHT

The Literary Society.

Stunt Night is sponsored by the Student Council in con-
junction with the Yamacraw staff. Skits were presented by
various groups and organizations on campus. The purpose of
Stunt Night is to raise funds for the yearbook. The Student
Council had the winning skit.

THE PLAYS

"Angel Street" was the smashing success of the
season. The outstanding performance of the entire
cast showed a remarkable sensitivity and understand-
ing of the characters portrayed.

The comedy of "BHthe Spirit," in direct contrast
with the melodrama of "Angel Street," indicated the
versatility of the ability of the Players.

BLACK AND WHITE FORMAL

On April 5 the Freshman Class proved once again that they know
how to give a "real party." The dance was held at Robinson's Tropical
Gardens with the largest turn out of any previous Black Snd White
Formal. "Congratulations" to the Freshman Class.

A good time was had by all.

U. M. O. C. CONTEST

Through Alpha Phi Omega's stunt to raise
money for campus improvement, Alan Moore
was elected the Ugliest Man on Campus.

CLEAN UP DAY AND
OPEN HOUSE

May 4 — All dorms and buildings were
open for inspection by the public in the
Student Council sponsored Open House. On
the preceeding day, students turned out to
give the campus a final face-lifting.

STUDENT COUNCIL
ELECTIONS AND
AWARD NIGHT

The election of Student Council officers is perhaps the most
exciting part of the year to many of us. Everyone has a
favorite candidate for which to campaign. The campus is
changed for a week preceeding elections by posters, bulletins,
and motorcades.

Award Night is the night of elections. At this time various
students are recognized for accomplishment in athletics, or-
ganizations, and studies. The culmination of Award Night is
the installation of the new Student Council.

SPRING FORMAL

The Spring Formal was held in the Main Ball Room of the
Biltmore Hotel the Friday night before Graduation.

The banquet, in honor of the Seniors, was followed by the
final and most wonderful dance of the year.

Donald Randolph Wilson
President

"We must forever be mindful that education, in order to be true to itself, must be
a progressive experience for the learner, in which interest gives rise to inquiry, inquiry
is pursued to mastery, and mastery at one point occasions interest at others. The cycle
is never closed, but is a spiral which always returns upon itself at some higher level of
insight. Growth in everything which is human must remain the dominant objective for
the individual and for Society."

Student

Student Government, popularly called the Student Council,
consists of five Executive Officers and the Class Presidents. It
represents and promotes the interest and activity of the Stu-
dent Body in campus affairs.

The "constitutional" functions are the introduction of
legislation and the preparation of the Student Activity Budget.
After hearing recommendations, the Council appoints the
chairmen of the Honor Court, Honor Committee, Social Com-
mittee, Public Relations Committee, Chapel Committee; the
president of the Players; and the editors of the Literary Maga-
zine, The Stormy Petrel, and the Yamacraw.

Charlie Smith, President

Jim Magee, Vice President

Government

In recognition of a primary responsibility to the new stu-
dent, the Council provides the "O" Book, campus orientation,
and co-sponsors the annual Get Acquainted Party.

It assists in the planning of Rat Week, and sponsors Clean
Up Day, Open House, Award Night, Book Day, Stunt Night,
and Student Government Elections.

The Council endeavors to assist the faculty, administration,
and campus organizations in meeting student needs through its
contribution to the Advisory and Interactivity Committees.
Participation in civic and inter-collegiate meetings enables the
Student Council to represent the wider interests of the Uni-
versity.

SENIOR CLASS

"A Search is the thing He hath taught you, for Height, and for Depth, and for Wideness." These words have followed the
Senior the four years he has come; for his looking into himself, into his friends, into his school, and into his world has been
this "search." The Seniors began the year by the annual capping ceremony, sponsored the Square Dance, but even amid the rush
of the rings and the confusion of invitations, time was taken to leave a gift of remembrance to the school.

JUNIOR CLASS

Two years behind them, and graduation in the very near future, the Junior Classman reaUzes that he cannot limit himself
to looking into his school and his friends around him, but must also look into the world as a whole. With the Senior year in
mind, the Junior Class decided to buy their rings early this year. Funds were also allotted for one-half page in the Yamacraw.

SOPHOMORE CLASS

The beginning of the Sophomore year brings a new outlook to a student of that category. He begins to look into himself,
into his class-mates, and into his school. The MacConnell Cup is given in recognition by the class for an outstandmg Senior
who has appeared active on campus but at the same time has received little recognition for his or her interests.

FRESHMAN CLASS

The leadership of the Freshman Class is carried by the Vice President of the Student Body until the Freshman establishes him-
self academically, and until he comes to know his class-mates and school well enough to take over. Nonetheless, the projects
and activities of the Freshman Class this year have been representative of the enthusiasm of its members. They sponsored the
Freshman Hay Ride, the Sin Den, and the Black and White Formal.

ORGANIZATIONS

HONOR COURT

The Honor Court is composed of nine students, a chairman
appointed by the Student Council and two representatives from
each class elected by their fellow students. They are chosen for
their sense of responsibility and honor in belief that such stu-
dents are thoroughly capable of judging infractions of the
Honor Code.

The efficient functioning of the Honor Code, Court, and
Committee, however, lies ultimately with each and every stu-
dent. Honor depends upon each individual maintaining a de-
sire to associate himself only with honest persons.

Rou' one: Howell Ragsdale, Janne Jolley, Chairman Sam Edleman, Carolyn Webb, Nancy Tarrant. Row two: Charles Gip-
son, Al Sheppard. Not pictured: Bob Oliver, Marvin Lawson.

HONOR
COMMITTEE

The Honor Code is an integral
part of University life. The Code is
a document drawn up by the stu-
dents themselves in the conviction
that college students are capable of
establishing and maintaining hon-
esty «mong their number.

The Honor Committee, composed
of one elected student from each
class and a chairman appointed by
the Student Council, has as its func-
tion the investigation of violations
of the Honor Code and the report-
ing of the facts to the Honor Court.

Branton Easton, Bruce Hauck, Sandy Carter, Sydney Mobley,

SOCIAL COMMITTEE

The Social Committee is responsible for five dances per year. These

Formal, The Lord and Lady Oglethorpe Formal, and The Spring Formal.
Funds for these dances are allotted from the Student Activity Budget.

Chairman Olsen reorganized the Committee in February into seven
specialized committees, giving a specific job to each person. This, he
feels, will insure even better dances in the future.

of each.

THE YAMACRAW

The Yamacraw is the yearbook of Oglethorpe University., The
staff seeks each year to enclose between two pieces of cardboard all
the memorable places, events, and people encountered within
the year.

Each year the yearbook is something the staff can look back
upon with feelings of accomplishment, pride, and relief that it all
is in the past.

Each year the Yamacraw presents a key to the most valuable
staff member and to the Freshman who sold the most ads. In that
order, Lou Wuichet and Roland Larson were the winners.

BASKETBALL

Into a basketball team goes work, sweat, courage, hope,
spirit, and skill. It takes months of practice and more prac-
tice— learn that pattern — work that pattern — play that
pattern.

Take the courage against overpowering odds; the hope in the
coach's heart; the spirit of the students, Cheerleaders, and pep
band; and a young, fighting ball club. Put them together and
you have the 1957 basketball season.
