High intel- lectual attainment, a simple religious faith, physical well being, gracious li ing, and service are the aims of a well rounded student. Some Agnes Scott girls attain all five ideals: each student acti ely incorporates at least one into her lite. These ideals essential to a rich, useful life ai e manifest in the activities of campus life as recorded in the Silhouette.

Respected for his sound udgment and vise decisions in eilucation, he is chairman of the Membership Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and a leader in the Southern Univer- sity Conference. Revered for his sinceie religious faith, he holds a responsible position in the southern Presbyterian Chinch as Chairman of the Stewardship Committee. Poised and unhurried, Dr. McCain lays aside the duties of chief executive for a momenf of relaxation. Host to the frcshnnan Bible class, Dr. McCain comes to the aid of his taffey-troubled guests. THE PRESIDERT Registrar and Di-.an ol the laciilty, Mr. S. GuERRY Stukes offers advice to stu- dents about schedules, helps them find jobs, or listens sympathetically to their problems. His wide range oi experience, which includes even being an aviator, fits him for the role of counselor. His genuine sincerity and marvelous sense of humor fit him for the role of friend.

Tart, our official business manager and treas- urer, is in charge of the bookstore and helps stu- dents to keep their ac- counts in order. Mr. Stukes examines a good record. Few people doubt that Miss Lal ' ra Steele is one of the bus- iest persons at Agnes Scott. From early morning to late afternoon, she graciously and efficiently fills her position as secretary to Dr. McCain. Bookkeeping seems to hold no headaches for Mr. Rogers. Besides his duties as assistant business manager and treasurer, AfR. P. J. Rogers, Jr., has also the job of supervising the campus grounds.

Miss Carroll Taylor, an Agnes Scott graduate of 1947, has proved an efficient manager of the bookstore. Miss Taylor straightens her wares before the after-chapel rush.

Sanders is not only assistant dietitian but also the popular housemother of Cunningham cottage. ■thday party is in the air when Mrs. Whelchel and Mrs. Sanders get together. Good housekeeping on the campus is encouraged by Mrs. Annie Mae F. Smith, supervisor of dormitories, and her assistant, Mrs. iSfARiE P. Webb. Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Smith plan the day ' s schedule.

Every girl at Agnes Scott ieels that she has in Miss Carrie ScANDREix dean of students, a personal friend, to whom she may relate her tale of :voe or choice excerpts from " his " letters. Every girl, too, hopes that when she graduates, she may carry away as a part of her o vn personality a share of Miss Scandrett ' s gracious spirit. " Do come in, Jean!

LIBRHRV The library staff this year has done a mar- velous job ot making the quest lor information a pleasant one. Bulletin boards and special ex- hibits are only two ot the devices that they employed. Principally, the students are grateful to Miss Edna Ruth Hanley, the librarian. A visit to her office is a sure way to obtain help in finding obscure information. Two prize African violets adorn Miss Hanley ' s desk. Aiding Miss Hanley is Miss Mar jorie Karlson a 1946 graduate of Agnes Scott and an assistant to the librarian. Mrs. Louise Harvey Woodbury is the capable secretary of Miss Hanley. Miss Phyllis Downing from Ipswich, Massa- chusetts, is also an assistant to the librarian. Two of last year ' s graduates are now assistants to the librarian.

Wiggins was on the campus during the winter and spring quarters as instructor in teacher education. PHILOSOPHV, EDUCflTIOn PSVCHOLOGV To help students understand the luniiaii mind in its j hysical and more intangible aspects and to siiow them how to moidd young minds through the process of education are the aims of the de]3artment of philosophy and education. An increased interest in teaching during the past t v ' o years has added to the popularity of the education courses. Mr. S. (in RR-i Stlikes has another job at . gnes .Scott, that of jjiofessor of philosophy and education. His keen wit and ready laugh infuse additional interest into the fascinating study of the conscious and sid)conscious mind. Two passengers, Miss Dexter and Miss Onnwake, wait for the elevator. socioioGv flno economics A KNOWLEDGE of social trends in family life, culture, and racial questions, with an understand- ing of business helps students of sociology and economics to be- come intelligent citizens. Miss Mildred R. Mell, pro- fessor of economics and sociol- ogy, stresses the practical appli- cations of social and economic principles. Interested in civic affairs, she is a worker in the Community Chest drives. Mr. Floyd Hunter, lecturer in sociology, taught a limited number of sociology students this vear. Eneountcring an obscure topic, Miss Mell consults the card catalogue. 27 SCIERCE Atomic energy and the implications of its power have led more and more students to the study of science— biology, chemistry, and physics. Through a genuine enthusiasm for his work, Mr. W. J. Frierson, professor of chemistry, has made his courses particularly stimulating. His lectures are always marked by simplicity, clarity, and the revelation of " surprise " techniques. Miss Elizabeth Crigler, associate professor of chemistry, does most of her work with advanced students. All of them praise her systematic and methodical way of teaching. In the spring and lall. she h ' kes to take sight-seeing outings aroiuid Atlanta. Before an experiment, Miss Courtcnay and Mrs. Heckard put some equipment in order. When test tubes break, or when reactions do not be- have properly. Miss Mary Ann Courtenay, assistant in chemistry, always answers the need with the right infor- mation and a smile. Mrs. REBE(:t:A B. Heckari), also an assistant in chem- istry, Avorks lor the most part with advanced students. An .addition to the campus this year is Mr. William A. Calder, professor of physics and astronomy. Already he and his family have made themselves an integral part of the campus.

Already outstanding as the author of a biology textbook and of numerous scien- tific papers, she is now aivaiting the publication of her newest work, a zoology textbook. Wisdom, gentle humor, and understanding fuse in her personality to make it an inspiration for more and better vork. Miss MacDousall ' s red gown always adds a colorful touch to academic processions. Mr. Hiden T. Cox, associate professor of biology, works constantly on special projects in botany, especially on his outstanding collection of slides. After his impersona- tion of " Dr. Strepto Coccus " in the freshman talent skit, the whole campus is con inced that Mr. C:ox should take up drama as a sideline. Mr. Cox looks up from his pursuit of microbes. Mrs. J. K. Rudv, a 1945 graduate of Agnes Scott, is the assistant in physics. Mrs. Rudy poses for an informal snapshot. Gathered around a biological chart are Miss Groseclose, Miss Radford, and Miss Heery. Miss Nancy Groseclose, instructor in biology, came to Agnes Scott this year from Hollins College.

The magazine published two issues this year, one during the fall quarter and a combined issue for winter and spring quarters. Aurora has inaugurated publication of student drawings and thus finnished an additional outlet for student expression. As the literary publication on the campus, Aurora offers one of the first outlets for freshmen talents. Folio, the freshman writing club, encourages writers to submit their best stories and poems for publication. With the guidance of Miss Trotter, ad- viser, and Barbara Caldwell, president, the club has enjoyed a year of critical creativity. Members are Nancy Anderson, Clara Boggs, Anne Brooke, Andrea Dale, Anna DaVault, Virginia Feddeman, Louise Hertwig, Page Hutchison, Louise Sanford, Eliza Pollard.

" Exec ' s program committee presented the theme in phases applying to the individual, the campus community, the nation and the world. The year ' s concentration on the honor system started out with both old and new students participating in a pledge ceremony. A study of our honor system and its problems resulted in a clarification of it as a system of mutual help and interest among the entire student body. In November came the Connnunity Chest drive and the giving out of a multitude of red feathers.

This year Christian Association has built its program around the forceful theme, " 15y Faith 1 . . . " front the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. The college community has been challenged through chapel programs, vespers, and Morning Watch to consider the implications of this theme for personal living. Dining Religious Emphasis Week in February, Dr. Donald Miller from Union Theological Seminary in Rich- mond led us in a study of New Testament characters. In his messages and in the campus discussions Dr. Miller brought us to an awareness of those things which tend to mar our personal relationships with Christ and of bases of dynamic living which can be had only through faith. Among the social services which the C. A. cabinet and council directed were the management of children ' s jjarties and the visits made to the Negro mission, the Syrian chapel, the Scottish Rite Hospital, and the Atlanta Boys Club. Christian Association also sponsored a successful World Student Service Fimd, sending $1,000 for student relief in Eiuope. In the social work in the community and in the intel- lectual and spiritual growth on campus, the members of Christian Association " unite in the desire to enrich our conception of God and Jesus Christ in order to realize the fidl and creative life and share it with others.

Membkrs ot Mortar Board, national honorary society of senior ' 0)nen, are tiuh- ' (luiet nioklers of campus opinion. " The inlkience ol their three ideals ol ' leadership, service, and scholarship is lelt in every phase of college life. Since its establishment at Agnes Scott in 1932, Mortar Board has endeavored to recogni e in the rising senior class from five to twenty girls whose academic and extraciuricidar records are outstanding. These girls carry out during their senior year a program of service that has inaugurated here such activities as sponsoring marriage classes and the Social Standards Committee, publishing the Campus Code, and giving parties for freshmen and transfers. Mortar Board again published desk calendars that were popular with the students and facidty. At the end of the year, Mortar Board published excerpts from outstanding speeches of lecturers and visitors to the campus during the session. Throughout the year, fortar Board members served as ushers at lectures and assisted ith the library book tea and the day student-parent tea. This was the first year that the ]3resident of the incoming chapter ivas announced before the regular an- nouncement of new members in April. PHI BETA KHPPfl Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic organization, has as its purpose " to recognize and encourage scholarship, friendship, and cultural interests. " The oldest Greek letter fraternity, it was founded December 5, 1776, at Vi]liam and Mary College. The Beta of Georgia chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established at Agnes Scott College on March 23, 1926. A nes Scott as the one hundred and second institution and the ninth college for women to receive this recogni- tion of scholastic excellence. Each spring the chapter elects to membership those members of the senior class who have outstanding records— those girls who have most fully attained the first part of the Agnes Scott ideal. The elections for 1948 were announced on April 3, in chapel. Miss Mary Stuart MacDougall, president of the chapter, officiated, and Dr. James R. McClain told tlie interesting history of the Beta chapter.

It is the aim of the committee for every girl on the camjjus to participate in at least one school function during the year, not only by going to parties and coHees but also by helping to share some of the responsibility of being a hostess. In the fall, a skit on campus customs initiated the students into the social plan for the year. A social usage test was given later which brought social errors to the attention of the student body. Speakers on posture, makeup, poise, dancing and other social graces gave us new yardsticks for measuring these aspects of personality. Throughout the year, representatives from each dormitory planned and carried out very successfid coffees. Social Standards Committee gathers for a meeting.

Here at Agnes Scott the organization has the four- fold pLupose: " to keep in touch with classical activities through the nation; to interest the student body in the Study of the classics; to foster interest among its own members; and to promote in the nearby high schools an enthusiasm for classical study. " To be a member of Eta Sigma Phi is an honor, for only those showing interest in the classics -who ha ' e attained a high scholastic average are eligible. This year the topic for study and dis- cussion at club meetings has been the background and literatiue of the Cice- ronian period. All members took part in discussions and showed an enthusiastic interest in the subject. Plans were made for next year ' s activities at the annual spring banquet. Also in the spring the society held an informal get-together for all classics students interested in becom- ing members of the chilx Geffcken, president, chatting after chapel with Miss Glick, Leaders among campus stude brook, treasurer; Anne Treat tary; Ruth Bastin Slentz, pre president; Bob Blair, ident; Tina He CHI BETH PHI In 1933, Agnes Scott had the privilege of being the first women ' s college to establish a chapter of Chi Beta Phi, national honorary scientific fraternity. Since that time, the organization has sought to ftnther an interest in science on the campus by encouraging students in all fields of scientific endeavor. Members are selected each year on the basis of their interest in science and high scholastic attainment.

BLflCKFRinRS The campls svnon m for variety might be Blackfriars. Work in staging a play ranges from the hard labor of making sets and shifting scenery to the more glamorons task of playing the leading role in one of the big dramatic produc- tions. On the big night, the thrill of contributing to a successful production rewards each member for her diligent labor. The fust production of this year was the unique one-act play, PuUinau-Car Hiaicatlia. by Thornton Wilder. It was presented without the aid of scenery or props, and all club members, acting and technical, took part. The big fall dra- matic production was Anna Cora Mow- att ' s Fashion, a mid-Victorian comedy of manners. The Greek tragedy Trnjui} Women Ijy Euripides was pre- sented in the sjjring. Presentations calling for such varied talent and interpretation are a test of the actors as well as a challenge to the ingenuity and originality of the technical staff.

Its imselfish participation in chajjel services. Investiture Service, the Religions Emphasis Week programs, and in all the festivities of graduation has estab- lished for the club a reputation of unusual ability, performance, and co-operation. The white-clad Christmas Choir closing its candlelight service with the singing of " Silent Night " , the an- nual performance of an operetta, and the Spring Concert have come to be widely known and loved as traditions of the college. Not limited to serving the campus and close friends. Glee Club and its Special Chorus made fre- quent trips to nearby clidjs and churches, and for the past two years have sinig for the Presbyterian Hour. Freshman Choir, a new project this year, was organized to develoj) and train better memliers for a better Glee Club. Indeed, Glee Clidj ' s threefold purpose of providing enjoyment for others, instruction for its members, and fine choral music for its own sake is being successfidly carried out. 123 BB f ■ ' iMW " ' " ■■- - — - ■H D ' « JMtHHgl Br I H m- .vjaj ife i WSf i» " ' « ' j HL - 9 1 K-S y - ' Q H i ' w ' ■ SH IHI W?!? 1 HHc ' ' hE PI Alpha Ph! officers pause or their way to meet visiting debaters.

Pi flLPHn PHI The hlstor- - of debating at Agnes Scott goes back to 1913. In that year the first debate between women ' s colleges in the South took place in New Orleans between Agnes Scott and Sophie Newcomb. In 1922 Pi Alpha Phi was organized as the campus debating society with the purpose of stim- ulating interest on the campus in current affairs and of sponsoring representatives to various intercollegiate debating tourna- ments. Agnes Scott ivas the proud originator of the All-Southern Debate Tournament in 1946 and has been its hostess every year. In the fall of 1947 the negative team from the University of Florida proved that the nations of the world are not ready for a world federation. The college community was invited to the final debate and the reception following it in Murphey Candler. Dr. George P. Hayes, head of the English department and adviser for Pi Alpha Phi, has contributed much to the clidj. In addi- tion to his constructive criticisms he teaches a course in argumentation especially de- signed for debaters. students talented and interc ted in public speaking are members of the debating society.

They organized to encourage all other women to use the nev - privilege intelligently by studying all government actions and issues. The League has a twofold purpose. The group seeks first to educate individual citizens to vote correctly and wisely, and second to work for better government. Although the League on the Agnes Scott campus is affiliated with the Georgia League of Women Voters, girls from all states are luged to join. Thus the group creates on campus an active interest in government that may be manifested in better civic participation in local and other communities. 126 " Whi;n mother was here . . . " These are words olteii heard at any meeting ol the Granddaughters Club, lor this group is made up entirely ol daughters and granddaughters of iormer Agnes Scott students. The club is completely social in its purj oses and limctions, and it gives the memljers an ojiportiuiity for getting together and chatting about what Agnes Scott was like in Mother ' s day. At the first of the year the old members gave an informal outdoor party at Harrison Hut lor the new granddaughters. The main event of the year was the l anquet in the spring. For these girls there is a conmion feeling— a personal delight in building a tradition— that intensifies their individual enjoy- ment of Agnes Scott. GRflnDOnUGHTERS CLUB Chips off the old block.

The fall meetings were highlighted by a dramatization of the beloved French story " La Chevre de Monsieur Seguin " and an interpretation of a Paris night club. In January, Miss Barineau talked about her recent visit to France, and in February Mr. Forman spoke on his trip to Canada, showing us the paintings he did there.

Letters of wel- come and invitations to join in the fun at the gym were written to freshmen and transfers.

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 station- ery. LONG in the memory of the bride will be the happy recollection that her wedding cards were perfect in every detail, reflecting her own taste and personality.
