LIBRARY OF MMINGHA M. SOUTHERN COLLEGE BIRMINGHAM-SOUTHERN COLLEGE 5 0553 01001513 6 LIBRARY OF HAM-SOUTHERN COLLEGE BIRMINGHAM SOUTHERN BOOKSTORE at TEN-THIRTY Traditions — the first thought is of the Bookstore. Profs and students elbowed their way to the counter for the morning coke. It was here Hilltoppcrs could dis- cuss problems or write history reports. This spot, so much a part of the Hilltop, became a tradition. THE CELEAR Not such an old tradition but a color- ful and interesting part of the Hill- top life — one which grows in the Hill- topper ' s memory — this is our coffee au gratis Cellar. CHAT WITH A PROF Those times when we were baffled by Algebra or everything in gen- eral — they will be remembered, also. bus a Unpleasant though the fumes were, the rides to the Hill spread cheer and 44 Col- lege Hills remains the symbol of Hilltop transportation. LABS When the Freshmen picked up his first frog, college life seemed futile. However, the lab ' s two afternoons a week became less an evil and as much a remembered tradition as the Bookstore. Of all traditions, this event on the Hill- top will live as long as there is a girl ' s football team, a bonfire and bare feet. GYM PARTIES Here, we met, ate, and played. Gym par- ties kept alive our school spirit and we remember them. The best piece of chicken and a grin has become one of the greatest traditions on the Hilltop. MORTAR ROARD TAPPING Waiting for the scroll to unroll, a hushed silence fell over convoca- tion. Mortar Board and ODK tapping became a solemn tradition. MR. HILLTOPPER The traditional Mr. Hilltopper election when organizations choose their favorite person and cam- paigned until the fighting finish. Mr. Hilltopper, a great tradition re- turned with the end- ing of World War II. THE CRABAPPEE TREE What has more tradition? We looked at the blooms and realized the Hilltop was us. FEAST IN THE DORM How many times were we starving at 11:00 and finally found some soul with a kind he art, crackers and cheese. SUNDAY AFTERNOON TEAS Singing songs with Watts at the piano, dressed-up fraternity men and swishy eve- ning dresses lived as a tradition. HILLTOP NEWS COMES OUT Every Friday, the gossip column was cen- sured. Later, we read about club meetings and convocation programs. Hilltop News . . . our diary. COLLEGE THEATRE Painting flats, memorizing lines and the final dab of grease paint before the curtain goes up makes one of the Hilltop ' s greatest mo- ments and, thus, one of its greatest traditions. -JL odicotioii . • . t k iirmod service , To those boys who across Belgium, to those who sailed the lived at the bottom of the sea for days have put aside the instruments of war, buttons, the stripes, cerelv devote the 1946 Southern Accent. You left the Hilltop to defend the rights and privileges which wk en- deavored to keep alive until your return. The 1946 Southern Accent gives you the old and the new with the Accent on the remembered tradi- tions of the Hilltop. In your absence, there were changes, but the friend- ships between prof and student, the crabapple tree in spring, the sun dial, and Sadie Hawkins have remained the same. to I Ik o % c w Ik o Ik ok o i ' e I ie i f ii e «I Ir o an V% «L fc 1 f % | € fc € 1 1 ■■ 1 1 t flefflicote 1 lb i b oo ' To you who are returning to the chemistry lab and the history lectures, the Bookstore and Munger Bowl, and in memory of those who will not .ii ' ii i ' JUieHilltop the 1946 Southern Accent is dedicated. RAMSEY CONSERVATORY HcCOY CHURCH ADMINISTRATION The faculty ' s attitude toward the Hilltopper has become a tradition. No formidable foe to be reached only through a closed door, the professor at Southern gave each student that feeling of welcome and that understanding which sends the student to his professor with the problems which arise every day. The open door became a symbol to the stu- dent. Hilltop professors delivered his lectures, but he was just as much at home in the Bookstore with his Coke or in the Cellar with his coffee. Yes, the faculty lived with their students. This faculty-student relationship on the Hilltop has lived through the years of advancement on the Hill. Herein do we find the secret of the warm respect which each Hilltopper holds for the Professor of the Hilltop. ■ PRESIDENT Dr. George R. Stuart, our President, typifies the warmth and friendly spirit of the Hilltop. Never are the burdens which accompany the administering of the affairs of a post-war college so pressing or wearisome that Dr. Stuart is too busy to take an interest in a softball game or enter into the harangue of a Cellar Hour. Our President must re- ceive some inspiration for his daily tasks from his popular and attractive family, Mrs, Stuart (Eloise) , George, and Sullins. Yes, Hilltoppers are proud to say that Southern ' s President is a friend as well as a recog- nized leader in the academic world. Here are those who keep records, make reports, answer questions, and keep the wheels of the Hilltop moving. Dean Shanks talks with worried students and meets with the Student Life Committee. Mrs. Sensabaugh, with her grace and charm, guides the women students. Dr. Ownbey has the task of interviewing and answering the ques- tions of would-be students, while Mr. Yielding and Mr. Walston keep strict account books. MARY HOLMES SENSABAUGH Dean of Women E. SYDNOR OWNBEY Registrar HENRY T. SHANKS Dean NEWMAN M. YEILDING Bursar ROBERT WALSTON Assistant Bursar $ O II T E N $ Our profs gave their lectures, they returned dreaded exams, and they graded term papers. Most of all, however, they endeavored to instill into our minds, a little of the things which will make our life more meaningful. They listened to our dreams over Cokes in the Bookstore, they argued with us in the Cellar over the solution to the problems of the international world, and they played Softball in the Bowl. Dr. Jones, always scurrying toward Simpson, was never lonesome, for there were students mixing various concoctions in the Chemistry Lab every minute of the day. The friendly smile of our new professor, Dr. Toulmin, made him an immediate favorite with his classes. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and divid- ing. . . . Yes, Dr. Moore taught the Hilltoppers fundamentals in the world of figures as well as the more advanced courses where his Patience of Job was the secret of his success. The quiet dignity of Mr. Mc- Neel gave his classes that air of the admired professor and his earnest students endeavoring to achieve the goal together. That mischievous grin and cheerful attitude of Dr. Malone made such courses as Freshman Algebra much easier. Dr. Malone ' s desire to teach gave him the love of his students. Jokes in class plus his close association with Hilltopper made Dr. Glenn a favorite in class as well as on the volleyball court. The size of the American Government class is only one example of Dr. Park ' s position with Hilltoppers. 18 r A C U L T V . . . Dr. Ab had the energy of two and indeed it was necessary. Dashing from the Cellar to Poetry Class to his productions in the College Theatre kept him from leading a life of ease. In spite of his busy schedule, Dr. Abernethy always listened to the latest peeve of his advisees. The little coupe brought Dr. Scott to and from the Hill. We did not see as much of our Sociology Prof as we would have liked for he had his ministerial duties also, but he was on the campus enough to become sponsor for one of the girl ' s foot- ball teams Sadie Hawkins Day. Girls and their problems. Mrs. Moore had her day filled with those would-be school marms and the duties which accompany the title of Y. W. C. A. advisor. Even Latin is not too difficult when someone with the wit and energy of Dr. Keyes presides over the classes. Dr. Perry, the perfect gentleman of the traditional South, made life on the Hilltop just a little less hectic with his quiet manner at a time when the world was whirling in confusion. Dr. Proedoehl never found a minute in the day when admiring Hilltoppers did not want to discuss their latest philosophy of life with him. With Violin in hand and quick smile, Mr. Grieves had to spend most of his time at the Con- servatory guiding would-be fiddlers. Tony , the endearing name which his students have given him, :s significant in that it shows the warmth and sympathy with which Dr. Constans leads those who find the French phoenetics so difficult. 19 % IE T E N ' $ Dr. Hutson, guided those in the ministerial field, was faculty adviser for Chi Sigma Phi, and Religious Council, and still had time to make great accomplishments on the Faculty Softball team. Dr. Alan T. Wager settled many of the disputes which concerned the atomic bomb with his knowledge of this phenomenon. Miss Lewis never had problems of her own which she placed above those of her students. Her work in the gym was significant of her interest in Hilltoppers. Dr. Frierson, of necessity, spent most of his time in labs with struggling students in the world of modern science. Dr. Leon Sensabaugh, with his International Relations Course, his Portuguese classes, and his fondness for the softball diamond, found that his friends included every type of student from the would-be diplo- mat to the athletes. Mr. Mc Williams, head of the Plumanities Division, read the Middle English in Chau- cer ' s Canterbury Tales as well as modern poetry which he is forced to read as a prize at Hilltop auc- tions. Dr. Whiting with his biology adherents is surrounded by students from his cup of coffee in the Cafeteria in the morning until late afternoon. 20 FAC L T ¥ The brusk Hello and the tweeds typify Dr. Hunt. The wit and notes of personal interest in his Drama classes are remembered. How Miss Crawford does so many things during twenty-four hours is the eighth wonder of the world. From chasing Mr. Ogburn to getting a door-knob replaced to typing three-hundred letters, her day is a busy one. Even with all this, she has time to act as hostess to visitors to the Hilltop. Mrs. Roper ' s jovial personality behind the counter in the Bookstore make her the per- sonal friend to each student. Mr. Hernandez has made Spanish classes interesting with his bright interest and enthusiasm for this subject. With so many returning Pre-med students, Dr. Reynolds had a busy year. He prepared students for Med schools, made out schedules and still had time to direct the Church Choir at McCoy. Vincent Town r end was not seen too often on the campus, but everyone realized that he was the man behind the publicity which the Hilltop received. He made the wheels of the Southern Accent and the Hilltop News turn with his authority. 21 % © II T E N ' § Dr. Bathurst left us before the year was over, but his interest in his students who followed the Psychology profession will certainly be remembered. Dr. Hunter was on the campus only during the summer quar- ter. Nevertheless, he became a favorite Hilltop prof. Dr. Prodoehl, with his spirit and life, called his students of German Brother and they loved it. The vigor with which he attacked the difficulties in his classes made German and Philosophy more meaningful to every student. Statistics and the economic situation never took that quick grin from Dr. Beaudry ' s face. His capable management of his numerous advisees who were following the career of the busi ness world was especially noticeable. Miss Wiley ' s classes were different because she realized that some of the antics of our ancient ancestors were absurd, and her common sense attitude toward Hilltoppers found her admirers included meek Freshmen, Vets and the eager intelligencia. With his own love for music so deep, Mr. Anderson could hardly do anything but instill some of this love into the heart of the Hilltop. His patience and effort to produce great music saw results in the powerful choir which he developed. 22 FACULTY . . . The beauties in the Dean ' s office. Betty Brown Butler assisted Mary Richardson in keeping tab of the endless round of duties in the Dean ' s waiting room. Watts . . . Who doesn ' t know and appreciate the talents of Jimmy Watts who not only handles the accounts in the Bookstore as Mr. Yielding ' s assistant, but also finds time to write skits and songs and add a helping hand to those who need it. Mrs. Gilmer ' s husband returned, but her beautiful face at the window of the Registrar ' s office was appreciated while there. Miss Virginia McMahan hunts work to do. If her tasks dwindle, she thinks of a new publicity scheme and goes to work with her clever ideas for Southern ' s advancement. The staff in the Library has to contend with those careless students who lose books, and those who do not know where to find the History shelves. Nevertheless, Mr. Berninghausen had to make time in his schedule for speech classes with the absence of Dr. Evans and became a great friend with returned vets and pre-law students. Mrs. Lassiter made the library less a cold foreboding place with her talent for art. She arranged the sunny room in the top floor which became the chosen place for study for many students. Mrs. Toulmin was always cheerful at the Circulation regardless of the numerous number of fines. Mrs. Burns was the confidant for many a lonely Hilltopper for her wit and gaiety chased all blues away. 23 ACTIVITIES The traditions on the Hilltop, those moments which each Hilltopper remembers are associated with his activities outside the classroom and the library. Pounding the pave- ment begging ads for the publications, nights spent re- hearsing for the next operetta, afternoons spent stirring mixtures of paint, mornings when the Councils held their meetings and the pros and cons of Student life were thrashed out, and 10:30 periods spent practicing eight measures of the next music number for convocation. These things give Hilltop life the zest and living spirit which graduates remember. 1946 gave those Hilltoppers with an extra amount of energy a chance to use this energy to the best advantage. Yes, everyone will remember this year as the year when the activity ceiling soared to the greatest heights because the war had ended and all con- centration could be centered around those living moments of volunteered work on the Hilltop. ' i ' % . ■■ ■■ ■• ' V s ' if wM P I THE %T ENT o n o v C o The Honor Council has a task which is tremendous. The most important work which the Honor Council must undertake is to acquaint the students with this phase of cam- pus organization and to give each student the proper understanding of the meaning of the Honor Code. The magnanimous job of having each student sign the Honor Code pledge card is one which lasts throughout the year. Jane Harper, chairman of this group, worked to make the ideals of the Honor Code more effective by programs in Convocation, articles in the paper, and making personal appeals to students. With the added responsibility which the increased enrollment brings, the Honor Council has ac- complished much toward bettering campu: relations. MEMBERS Rita Allgood . . . Charles Beavers . . .

Because of the thorough work of the Coun- cil and their success in the job, Southern was the second college in Alabama to be awarded the Minute Man Flag. To arouse 90% of the students to participation in this program was the main objective of the 1946 Executive Council. The Student Life Committee, somewhat a sub-division of the legislative body of the Hilltop, passed on rules and regulations governing the dances and social functions which took on a new meaning with the increased enrollment. This body was a demo- cratic attempt to regulate the extra-curri:ular activities of the students and was com- posed of six student members and four faculty representatives. The Executive Council also continued the traditional practice of awarding the Senior Loving Cups to the most outstanding boy and girl in the senior class.

However, the greatest un- dertaking of the year was the De- cember Beauty Pageant, the pet project which was the editor ' s nightmare for weeks. Running from Bookstore to Munger, leading peo- ple by the nose in order to take snapshots kept Bubs at an endless round of chores. If the ' 46 Ac- cent was not entirely by Hill- toppers, it would be of them. E It N EDITORIAL STAFF Anne Ellis . . . Betty Hawkins . . . Rebecca Martin . . . Ernest Nathan . . . Jane Robinson . . .

Farley Warner Please go down and have your picture made for the Annual . How many times were those words fpoken in Convocation? In the production of the 1946 Southern Accent, there was the endeavor to capture the bright spots and the dull spots of the year ' 45- ' 46 . . . the year which saw the false alarms of armistice and, finally, the close of the conflict. The ' 46 Accent reflected the limited war enrollment which sky-rocketed to the old pre-war standard. The fall quarter was a reason of uncertainty and restlessness. Old students returned to make out sched- ules for the next quarter. Becky Martin and Flora Sarinopoulos copied names and activities. Picture- taking became the craze of the campus for everyone who could focus on one spot was collecting snaps for the Accent. Ernest Nathan waylayed friends and professors every hour of the day for the click of his shutter. The 1946 Beauty Pageant was the talk of Hilltop circles during the fall quarter. The beauties were nominated by all organizations on the campus and from this group, the sixteen which appear in your Accent were chosen. This Southern Accent is the story of good times and dull, longed-for successes and failure, work and play of each student on the Hilltop in 1946. 28 BUSINESS MANAGER IRENE HUNVALD Irene, the efficient executive in the eyes of everyone on the Hilltop (muc h to her distaste) was the natural choice for the never-ending job of begging adds and keeping film bills from collecting. With all her air of the business tycoon, Irene made all honor societies. Al- ways the one with the calm pres- ence of mind, Irene made the year a peaceful one where the dollar was involved in the Southern Ac- ACCENT Front row: Brent, Elliott Second row: Owen, Stephenson, Robinson, Tanner, Hawkins, Braswell, Kessler, Sarinopoulos, Hunvald Second row: Ellis, Shugerman, Martin, Vann, Brittain, Cheyney, Israel, Reynolds, Warner EDITOR BARBARA BRENT Barbara, in her nonchalant manner, never wrung her hands nor screamed for help when the staff turned their articles in to her at the eleventh hour. Dividing her time between the Birmingham Printing Co., and the Conservatory, Barbara succeeded in maintaining her musi- cal inclinations and publish the Hilltop News at the same time. Who ' s Who welcomed Barbara and her individuality. I L L T O P The return of many men . . . some pre-war students, some new ... to the Hilltop created a whirring of tongues about all issues in the world today from Normandy tc Normalcy . The Hilltop News heard all and told all. Thus, 1946 was a lively year for the printed word of the HTN. The mechanics of a post-war Hilltop were recorded in every issue of the paper. With Norma Ham securing the latest social gossip, G. G . keeping before the students the topics of discussion from each honorary group, and Mary Benefield ' s popular return to the old idea of Peep ' s Diary , the Hilltap News sustained college interest and man- aged to keep out of too many controversial issues. To keep the financial woes of the Hilltop Nsws to a minimum, Agnes Rogers and her colleagues such as Pat Brittain and Carol Cheyney, tramped the streets of the Magic City every week. This was a year of change at Southern, and the Hilltop News recorded this change on every page. STAFF Elsa Allgood . . . Rita Allgood . . . Mary Bencfield . . . Bobby Bowen . . . Joe Braswell . . .

Agnes placed a finger on her ad-sellers and the fi- nancial status of the Hilltop News was always in perfect condition. Agnes even managed to get a doll.ii ahead now and then.

Not even for the summer season did the vocal interests on the Hilltop cease. The thrilling pro- ductions of The Firefly and Vagabond King warranted the unanimous acclaim which they received from the audience. With the College Theatre, under Dr. Aber- nethy ' s direction, and Mr. Anderson ' s knack for making everyone sing, the summer Operas were an integral part of 1946 choir work. The traditional Christmas Concert in Munger was only the beginning of the holiday program for the Choir. This group of Hilltoppers also joined various local choirs in their Christmas pagentry. Men mean Musicals. With the additional male voices in the choir, bringing the mem- bership of the choir up to 115, the production of Patience was an inevitable success. Gilbert and Sullivan tunes were hummed on the campus for weeks. After many slav- ing days of work as well as patience, Dr. Ab. and Mr. Anderson saw the curtain rise on a professional performance. The loss of Lucy was another ' s gain. After sitting through rehearsals twelve hours of the day and almost as many hours of the night, for seven years, Lucy had become a tradition. Lucy ' s fingers on the keyboard were gone but not forgotten. 33 ANDREWS ALL 1946 was rush year for Andrews Hall. The women students begged Mrs. Sensabaugh to give them a room, but, after hanging many on nails, and out of windows, the limit for occupants was reached. Andrews Hall, not only afforded the background for midnight expeditions for a crumb of bread, a mid-day hunt for tennis shoes, but it also made its social debut on the campus. The Christmas Tea was arranged and prepared under the advice of Mrs. Booker and M-s. Sherrod. This Annual Tea, (Annual since the female clan overran the former boys ' dorm) , made sure that all rooms would be spick and span for once during the year anyway. There may have been lack of sleep in Andrews Hall but never was there lack of fellow- ship. OFFICERS President Vice-President.

Now, the Y has assumed the place of importance which it held in pre- war campus affairs. Under the leadership of M. L. Gunnin, the Y has sought to create interest in the social problems and the betterment of societal relations. The Y programs have been designed to instigate constructive accomplishments among the men on the Hilltop. The activities of the Y. M. C. A. are not entirely religious for during the year speakers from every aspect of life have been presented. Men from the fields of politics, indus- try, and education have given the Hilltop men something to think about in the dis- cussions which developed new ideals for the men of the Y . 36 V. W. C. A.

Beginning the year with the sponsoring of the National President of the Student Federalists, the Y endeavored to present to the girls on the campus speakers and discussions which would foster the ideals of the Y . The objectives of this group which includes all girls are: Political Effectiveness, Christian Faith, Equality, and World Organization. Betty Kessler brought before the Y , women from the fields of politics, merchandise, and publications in order to pro- mote wider areas of thought for girls in their careers. -£L . CLASSES Not all college tradition has the air of the Bookstore and the Cellar. Hilltoppers went to class. While there, some argued, some read, but all went. In some classes, we had Phi Bete ' s, in some, we the BW and BMOC ' S. The classes of the Hilltop will be remembered for these people but classes will also bring to mind the talk which filled the halls of Munger between the ten-minute bells. 1945-46 felt the onslaught of returning students . . . stu- dents who had remembered. The enrollment doubled from the fall quarter to the spring quarter. New faces stared at the professors. These faces had also stared on Iwo Jimo and in Italy. Yes, the personality of our classes had changed, but the spirit of the 8:30 class remained the same. 1946 was the year of the class and on the following pages, you recognize some of the faces, both old and new, on the Hilltop. i I fS -S Akeroyd, IIB$ Austin, A Baker Beene, ZTA Bell, AOII Belyeu, ®Y Berthon, AXQ Brittain, II K A Buck, IIB J Butler, KA CONSTANTINE Dean, ®Y Douglas Farrell, IIB4 Feidelson Fisch, ZTA Ford, A—® Franke, ZTA E N I O MARY ELIZABETH ADEROYD IIB Mortar Board treasurer 3, 4; Alpha Lambda Delta secretary 1, 2; Y.W.C.A. 1, 2, 3, Cabi- net 2, 3; The Hilltop News 2; Delta Phi Alpha secretary-treasurer 3, president 4; Chi Nu Tau 4; Theta Sigma Lambda 3, 4; Freshman Com- mission, Y.W.C.A.; Le Cercle Francais 3, 4.

In the rapid advancement of the College on the Hilltop in its Departments of Social Science, Natural Science, Biology and Chemistry to a status recognized throughout the South, the beauty on the campus has re- mained the same. From the ravishing brunette to the sweet blond, the Hilltop had its share of beauty. Beauty can not be labeled; nevertheless, by some strategy, the beauties for the Southern Accent had to be chosen. After each organization nominated a beauty, a group of non-partisan judges made a decision as to the sixteen love- liest at the Beauty Pageant in December. Harry Conover chose the 1946 Miss Southern Accent. Presenting Betty Brown Butler Itul Ik Pa« Been Carolyn Boatner G E E Fraternity men return! The women had continued the traditional hand-shaking, partying, and entertaining ac- tivities in the Greek world on the Hilltop throughout the war period, but, this did not make head-lines by 1946. The lean situation for the fraternities had ended. Men poured on the campus. Memories of old rush weeks for most boys plus that intangible something about the Greek organizations made rush week more hectic than ever. 1946 brought back the traditional Greek life of the col- lege. The thrilling annual dances, steak frys, picnics, and whispered pep-talks in the Cafeteria returned. The Greeks added much to the school spirit of the Hilltop in 1945-46. k Front row: Beave rs, Coates, Crowe Second row: Bowen, Har- per, Walker, Hamilton, Ford INH ' RIRATERNl ' Il COUNCIL MEMBERS Alpha Tan Omega Representatives....

O. had his share of duties and activities in 1946 on the Hilltop. With the return of pre-war BMOC Bobby Bowen, Jack Crowe and James Godfrey began the year with high hopes. After the fall pledging, the name A. T. O. was heard all over the campus. The College Theatre was awed by the many roles played by A. T. O ' s in the fall production, The Hasty Heart . Sam Adams, Dick Fleming, Willis Israel, and Farley Warnei captivated the female audience with their por- trayals of hardened war heros. Not only in the realm of acting, but also in the musical world, the A. T. O ' s were known. John Wise took upon himself the responsibility of organ izing the Vet- erans and others who were interested in building an orchestra on the Hilltop which could be used for the Campus functions. The ever-popular Ernie Pharo with his repetoire of various and sundry piano arrangements added to the fame of A. T. O. As to the proficiency of the A. T. O ' s in the field of athletics, one look at these Intramural Trophy Winners leaves no question. What with Bowen a permanent fixture at the gym, he kept the A. T. O ' s on their toes (figuretively speaking). These boys came to the front in volley ball, badminton, and horseshoes and walked away with these Intra- mural cups. The high point man of the fall sea- son was Dick Fleming; however, his frat brother, Joe Ed Hastings did not lag too far in the distance. A. T. O ' s demonstrated their interest and influence in campus politics. Crowe maintained order in Interfraternity Council; Bowen was elected vice- president of O. D. K.; and Blair Cox surpassed many candidates to become a member of the Ex- ecutive Council. How to win friends and in- fluence people was vividly illustrated by Dick Fleming in his successful race for the title of Mr. Hilltopper . Under the advice and council of Vic Knox and Johnny Jeff, the social aspects of A. T. O. were not neglected. 1946 was activity year for the A. T.

After a period of quiet campus life but active patriotic life, the Delta Sigs added quantity to their quality. Pete Ford was not only a leader among his broth- ers, but he also was outstanding on the campus, and for this reason was tapped by O. D. K. Luke Austin, even with his chemistry labs, found time for intramurals and achieved recognition by O. D. K. also. George Simmons found his life always in a whirl for he handled the monetary affairs for his brothers as well as assuming the duties as vice- president of Theta Chi Delta. The Delta Sigs were represented in every phase of academic life. Kappa Phi Kappa listed among its members Julien Cagle, Simmons, and Fulton Hamilton. Fulton, with his convertible, was always the fellow who could be depended upon to arrange food for the gym parties. During football season, Fulton dis- played his athletic potentialities and was chosen unanimously as an all-star in the backfield. From South of the Border came Hernan Ramirez to join the ranks of Delta Sig and add glamour as well as promote the Good Neighbor Policy. A. C. Baker was noted on the campus for his musical ability and became quite a Frank Sinatra with his fan of admirers on the Hilltop. Robert Gray added much to the College Orchestra with his amazing arrangements of the semi-classics. The Delta Sigs did not renounce their social de- velopment for the academic nor extra-curricular side of their college career. Good examples of the gay side of Delta Sig activities were their parties, the Annual Spring dance, and the long-awaited annual picnic which became a tradition with the fraternity but one which had to be forgotten dur- ing the war. The year, 1945-46 was a good year for Delta Sig. 79 r Front row: Coates, Grimes, Beavers, Acker, Adams Second row: Webb, Dragoin, Hamrick, Ray, McDevitt, Northcutt, Beardon, Baker, P ' ugh, Wingard KAPPA ALPHA OFFICERS President Charles A.

With Kappa Alpha ' s from around the globe returning from their duties for Uncle Sam, the present chapter of Southern gentlemen found it imperative to hold high the traditional standards until all K. A ' s re- turned. President Charlie Beavers was feen every day at the various centers of interest on the Hilltop From a meeting of the Honor Council to Dr. Abernethy ' s College Theatre where he managed the unesthetic phase of the Drama, Charlie was always busy. Notwithstanding his official duties as chieftan of the K. A ' s, Charlie still found time to be in every intramural tournament and con- spicuous en the Dean ' s list. Reggie Grimes made a very capable Jack of all trades as vice-presi- dent of the socially prominent and politically ac- tive wearers of the Crimson Cross. Keeping min- utes and bills in perfect order were Minute-man Bill Acker and money-changer Bobby Adams. The esthetic was not relinquished entirely for their academic pursuits, for the Summer Opera group was filled with Kappa Alpha ' s Bob Cleve- land (taking post-graduate work at the Univer- sity of Chicago, now), Lawrence Brice, Melvin Baker, and Sonny Dragoin. James Hamrick was Dr. Ab ' s very capable assistant during the pro- duction of The Hasty Heart. The flexing of muscles in every sport, from softball to basketball, was a year-round activity for K. A ' s. Bobby Ad- ams, representing the gang on the Intramural board, led his brothers in a major rele in Hilltop Athletics. True to the tradition of Kappa Alpha, the multi- plicity of social events during the years remained at a fast tempo. There were picnics at Beaver ' s camp on the river, weiner roasts at Lane Park, circus parties, and most outstanding of all, the January Old Southern Ball . This gala affair will also be remembered as a tribute to that South- erner, Robert E. Lee. As Jean Franke, the lead- ing lady, stepped from the make-believe Colonial Mansion, the color and spirit which enveloped the old South returned to the Southern campus for one night. All in all, the K. A ' s, singing Dixie during 1946, had a grand ' ole year. 81 Seated: Brittain, Godwin, Tanner, Reynolds, H. Jones, McKnight Standing: J.

Maintaining their high quality as well as high quality standards, the boys carried off honors in every corner of the campus. The fellows of Pike ' s Peak opened the year triumphantly in ' 45 by winning the Inter- fraternity Sing Trophy and celebrated this event with a house party at Camp Mary Munger. Leading the Pikes on their road to glory was hand- some veteran Bill Reynolds who also supported the high tenor section of the choir along with his A - making brother, Winfred Godwin, who remained friendly with all while begging unpaid dues at the same time. Those Pike politicians, Jimmy Brittain and Gordon Argo, who swung the gavel as Hilltop campus prexies during the year, found enough hours in the day to build flats and the stage for the col- lege Theatre. Harold Hasty Heart Walker served as president of O. D. K. while another Harold one of the Jones boys led the Kappa Phi Kappa ' s. The other Jones boy, Jimmy, led a harum of Southern Belles. Athletic Jack White added laurels to the goups as their hard-working rush captain. Always achieving more honors, Argo, Brittain, and Walker were the only men elected to Who ' s Who. Johnny Van Tassel ' s portrayal of Li ' l Abner was superb; thus winning for him this coveted title. Lights, Action, Camera. Harper gave his smooth performances while Joe Braswell and David Young painted and adjusted the lights. Ralph Tanner sang his way into the hearts of the audience as Papa Franz in The Fire-Fly . E. G. Sims just played all year — (the bass fiddle). Socially speaking, Pikes Peak became famous for its parties. The opening of the post-war dances was the successful Thanksgiving Formal which put a star by the Pike ' s name for their bravery in undertaking such a feat. The Shield and Diamond boys exercised a prominent part in Hilltop life during 1946. 83 - Front row: Campbell, Forstmann, Parsons, Clark, Capps, Mitchell, Chandler, Twining Second row: Culp, Kern, Stinson, Paul, Berthon, Kessler, Hood, Wiltshire, Chesnutt, Thompson Third row: Atkinson, Moore, Taylor, Puis, Griff is.

Betty Kessler played a leading role in their success by being tapped for Mortar Board, elected to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities, head- ing Pan Hellenic Council; serving as vice presi- dent and program Chairman of Y.W.C.A., and finding enough spare time to be active in Chi Nu Tau and Delta Phi Alpha Maxine Berthon, another Mortar Boarder, was president of Mu Alpha and Le Cercle Francais, and treasurer of Pi Delta Psi; while Caroline Paul rerved two quarters as vice president of the Ex- ecutive Council in addition to being treasurer of Eta Sigma Phi. On the scholastic side Alpha Chi Omega ' s found themselves with a monopoly of officers in Alpha Lambda Delta. Mary Whitehead was vice presi- dent; Jeanne Kern, secretary; and Polly Anne Clark, treasurer. Barbara Jones, Marjory Parsons and Alene Ches- nutt represented the sorority in religious life on the campus. Barbara was on the senior Y.W.C.A. cabinet; Alene was on the Freshman Commission and Marjory secretaried for the Baptist Student Union. Following the tradition of the lyre on the musical side were those girls in Mu Alpha, Maxine Berthon, Jeanne Kern, treasurer, Betty Hood, Mary Louise Coker, and Helen Chandler. Many ' s the campus function where Jeanne Kern amazed and enter- tained with her piano magic. On the fun side were the traditional Gay Nineties party at the home of Mary Stinson to end the fall rush season in style; a progressive dinner party, the sorority ' s first honest-to-goodness date party of the duration, banquets, and informal room get- to-gethers. Lighter touches of the year ' s activities would have to include Dorothy Thompson ' s distinguish- ing herself by her rendition of Jealous on Sadie Hawkins Day, Marty Stinson painting scenery, Polly Anne Clark presiding at the make-up mir- rors of the College Theatre, Lib Moore finding herself famous for her poster productions, Betty Twining ' s rushing around fulfilling the duties of Activities Chairman, Ruth Varnon getting her- self engaged and married, Mary Joe Fortsmann wearing the traditional crested pin of the most outstanding pledge and finally and foremost the selecting of Caroline Paul and Jo Anne Culp for the beauty section of the Southern Accent. 85 Fro;; row: Woods, M.

Speed Hunt ' s snappy auctioneering of such choice items as tennis and ping pong with Dr. Ab and dates with campus beauties and he-men. Reviving the Mr. Holltopper contest raised money for phi- lanthropic work and made Dick Fleming the envy of his fellow man. Steered again by Thelma Noel, Pi Delta Psi-er and Honor Councilor, the A. O. Pi auto also had in the drivers seat one Robinski by name, whose unlicensed wake-up service assured a jeepload of folks for jaunts to cootie parties, to Lover ' s Leap weiner roasts, Club Monte Carlo and even the Continental Room. ' Twas a sad, sad day when the Pi was returned. Loretta Graves found consolation in her warrior ' s return and in making Mortar Board; Tiny Carter and Betty Lois Arnett in getting pinned; Wood- son, Bell, Boo and Elsa in their labs; Patsy in dancing and Doug; Rite Erwin and Biddy Orcutl in the College Theatre; Rita in orchestra and the Honor Council; Marit in orchestra and the switch- board which she shared among others with Norma Ham, society editor of the HTN. Robinski ran the pledges Sadie Hawkins Day and almost any- thing that was a success; Morton and Jones landed in the beauty section of the Southern Accent. Everyone ' s heart leaped up when they beheld the Softball and golf driving cups. HTN clubs, Elsa Ailgood, Carol Cheney, and Norma Ham had a fund of free unsolicited advice from sports ed, Boo. Betty Margaret and Marion Gabbert kept up the good name of A. O. Pi with the male element, and, around the gym, Junior Manager, Hawky Tawky . Standout blowouts on the A. O. Pi Party Line were eclipsed by the Rose Ball of February 23 which was a revival of the sorority ' s traditional dance theme. Back in November the first date party was a super supper and dance at Roebuck. It was followed in early December by a formal banquet and dinner dance downtown.

Morning Watch, and represented the Gamma Phis on the Religious Council. Vice prexy Mary Claude Sellers stepped forth to win first place at the Halloween mas- querade with her red satin devil suit. After a sum- mer at Interlochen National Music Camp, Anne Jones came back in the Fall finding time for a few classes in spare moments away from teaching at the conservatory. Libby Jones also added her musical talent to G. Phi harmony. Nan Davis, the giggle girl, added her charm and ability to Executive Council and Intramural Coun- cil meetings. Rita Burnside was the spirit that kept up Gamma Phi team spirit and got herself elected to membership in the Physical Education Chapter Club. Katherine Thomas of the Dean ' s List added her quiet dignity to Chi Nu Tau initiation. Kath- ryn Davis appeared in the beauty section and some- how managed to survive the Amazon initiation. These Gamma Phi ' s sporting frat pins were Sylvia Beal and Anne Jones. Dean ' s lister Jane Rhodes wrote letters as secre- tary of Alpha Lambda Delta and added Theta Sigma Delta to her list of honors. Jean Stallworth got herself elected to the Freshman Commission and Betty Henckell was on the Y cabinet. Aside from other activities Gamma Phi ' s took first place in scholarship one quarter. Several of the girls enjoyed visiting the Vanderbilt chapter when they went up to Nashville for the ' Bama- ' Vandy game. Suppers in the room, a gala holiday af- forded these Greeks their social development. Once upon a time the gang adjourned to Nan Davis ' house for one of their spend-the-night parties at which anything from conga lines to steak frying at three a.m. can and does happen. 89 Front row.

This was the year of veterans on the campus and of KD ' s and veterans. This was Pike ' s trousseau year and Betty Brown Butler ' s second year of marriage. This was the year when everybody stood and wondered how Brent and Bubs managed to do all there was to do and still have time to play. This was the year when Brent was editor of the Hilltop News and Bubs was editor of the Southern Accent and this was the year when they were both in Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. This was the year of the big Sweat when nobody found her courses easy; and the year of the scooter for Lil Nabors; and of Down the Road a Piece for Martha Frances Wade. It was the year of The Hasty Heart for Carolyn Boatner, Patience for Betty Rouzer, and of Organic for Benefield. It was a year of parties at the Country Club and ot everybody getting up to sing or dance in the floor shows at them and of everybody rushing away home to study.

Among robe wearers in the choir were Anne Lewis, Betty Barnes, Phyllis Anderson, Mary Bullock, and Polly Price. Pi Phi ' s played good teams in sports competition under the leadership of Sports Manager, Betty Barnes, walking away with the bowling and swim- ming cups. Buck, Farrell, B. L.

Polly Price supervised meetings as president of the black stockings and white hair bow girls, the Amazons, and pledge Pat James managed to look the most repulsive (?)

Not only was she a member of Mu Alpha and high soprano in the ensemble but Lynn Morgan worked with the College Theatre and painted leadout scenery for school dances. Frances Dean became a member of Theta Sigma Lambda and Kappa Delta Epsilon. Blanche Berry, Mary Eleanor Hawkins and Kathryn Belyeu rep- resented the Theta U ' s at All Amazons meetings. Blanche and Mary Eleanor also served on Pan- Hellenic Council. Shirley Cason sang solos in the Christmas Concert, convocations, and had a sup- porting role in Patience .

Southern Theta U ' s en masse, treked off to a state convention to meet with their Auburn and Alabama sorority sister at the University in Jan- uary. Highlight of the Theta U social season was the first post-war formal dance in February. All in all, this was the great Theta U.

Doris Miller as secretary kept the records of Theta Chi Delta and was tapped for the ranks of Theta Sigma Lambda. Also there were those Xeta ' s with the gift of gob and not exclusively English gab, for Entre Amegos attracted Frances Burns with Jo Miller displaying her linguistic talentas Vice- president of this language fraternity. Marjorie Renegar gathered with those of Le Cercle Francais. Mary Leta found time to be one of socially ac- tive on the Hilltop and study her Latin too for she was tapped for Eta Sigma Phi, Kappa Delta Epsilcn also claimed sisters Fisch, vice-president, Franke and Cochran. Chums Ellis and Cochran made Chi Nu Tau be carefully and cleverly cut- ting chloroformed cats. It was heredity plus environment that gave Baby-Dumpling Ander- son a tap for Mu Alpha and the front row in Choir. Shining in Starlight Operas The Firefly and Vagabond King were Lillias Burns and Roco Timberlake. And still they played and still they wonder how all the Zeta ' s could do all the things they do. Zeta ' s wearing the emblem of Mortar Board were Jo Miller and Anne Ellis. Diving into Intra- murals, Franke was active as member of physical ed. club and intramural manager and Anne Ellis served as Senior Manager of Intramural Board. Take a second look! Naturally, it ' s a Zeta. Susan Adams and Ruth Beene made the beauty section. Leave it to the Zeta ' s to know all the best things to do like coming in second in Intramural Sing and included in the group which came in first in Cat ' s Paw, enjoying a hay ride to Turkey Creek, the Christmas banquet. Always, some Zeta is hearing the whi c pering of romance and coming to matrimony for Every Z. T. A. always gets her man . 97 % p © I s From the intense competitive sports exhibited in the Gym in the afternoon to the social hours at the Gym open-house at night, the Intramural Program moved at a rapid pace. The sounds which came from the windows of the Gym were proof enough of the sports department and its ac- complishments. Splashes into the pool, the bouncing of the basketball in preparation for a winning point, the thud of heavy bodies as the football reaches the 5 -yard line, and the whiz as the player rounds third base on a hard-hit ball. Yes, these were the traditional part of the Intramural life of the Hilltopper and with Englebert, Lewis, Davis and returned Battle, the Hilltop had a won- derful year in sports. BOtV INTRADURAL BOARD An active Intramural program was to be expected, but the overwhelming enthusiasm which 1945-1946 saw in the Sports program at Southern was amazing. Coach Englc- bert promoted his Intramural Board with his never-ceasing energy and made Intramu- ral ' s a definite part of Hilltop life for every student. Assisting Coach Englebert with his responsibilities in directing the athletics for the men on the campus were the repre- sentatives from the fraternities and Independents who spurred on the athletic program with their interest. Jack Short, senior manager, was Coach ' s right-hand man . The team sports, volleyball, softball, football, had the center of attention in the 1946 Intra- mural program, but tennis, paddle ball, free throw, horseshoes, and badminton afforded lively competition for the opposing organizations and Bobby Bowen, assistant to Coach, kept the Intramural competition on a business basis. The spring quarter found favorite Bill Battle back on the Hilltop as Athletic Director. Boys ' Intramurals held the interest of every Hilltopper during 194T-46. 100 GIRLS INTRAMURAL BOARD With the vitality and spirit which Miss Elizabeth Lewis and Miss Elizabeth Davis gave to the athletic activities of the girls on the Hilltop, the women ' s sports program for the year was valuable in physical gain and social worth. Managing the girls ' Intramural Program was Anne Ellis, Senior Sports Manager, and Betty Hawkins, Junior Sports Manager. Not only did the Physical Education Department direct the strenuous round of tournaments, but it also joined in 1945 with Coach Englebert in his successful at- tempt at Open House on Friday nights. With eight competing teams working for the championship cups, the Girls ' Intramural Board felt that 1946 was indeed a year of success and achievement on the Hilltop. !! Wutkern Mt i on fke Football! The afternoons of practice and the bull sessions before the big games were proof enough that football was the men ' s favorite. The 1945 football season gave rise to the Independent ' s championship team. With Henry Salemi, captain of the fighting Inde- pendents, this team reached the glorious climax. Those men who made the Fall All- tisritliroHi Star Football Team were Bil- ly Davis, Bill Beardon, W. R. Ray, Charles Collier, Sam Adams, Jimmy Shields, Bob- by Bowen, David Elwell, William Douglas, Hugh Val- lely, and the three men who received unanimous choice as All-Stars, Harold Taylor, Dick Fleming, and Fulton Hamilton. Volleyball, characterized by the active interest of the fac- ulty, involved the daily prac- tice of the competing teams. The A. T. O. ' s came out on top in the volleyball tourna- ment scoring with the fac- ulty running a close second. A 1 1 - S t a r Volleyball Men were: Enock Northcutt, Jack White, Jack Jealy, Vic Knox, Henry Salemi, and Bobby Bowen. ■ €i m m mm Basketball, the most important winter sport, saw a vigorous season. Each fraternity and the Independent group were faced by a new team, The Panthers, who proved their ability as keen competition. After an interesting season, the Independents received the Championship Basketball Cup. Individual sports such as paddle-ball, free throw, badminton, and horseshoes, acquired an added impetus to their popularity during the year with Hilltoppers making use of tk onrf the facilities of the gym every day. Harold Taylor was top man in the Horseshoe Tournament; Dick Flem- ing captured the title as Champ on the badminton court. The Paddle- Ball Champion for the year was Henry Salemi; and Jack Dorsky and Bobby Bowen tied for first place in the Free Throw Tournament. The Summer Quarter found South- ern men on the softball diamond. The competition which was dis- played by softball enthusiasts ac- counted for much of the developed professional tactics of the groups. The High Point Men in the Intr mural Program through the Fall Quarter of 1945 were: Dick Flem- ing, Bobby Bowen, Henry Salemi, William Douglas, Vic Knox, Blaire Cox, W. R. Ray, Jo Ed Hastings, Harold Taylor, and Billy Davis. The girls participated in the Intramural Tournament from volleyball to softball. What with team managers keeping the teams in practice every afternoon and Misses Lewis and Davis coaching the teams in the finer points of the game, the Gym was always filled with those advocates of the busy Intramural set-up. Volleyball, the favorite SPORT at Wufh oucitcr ' Bi team sport during the fall afforded the female sporting participants much keen competition, The Kappa Delta ' s captured the final volley- ball award for the 1945 fall season. At the close of the volleyball season, the all-star vol- leyball team was composed of such athletes as Betty Hawkins, Mary Elizabeth Hughes, Bet- ty Buck, Ann Ogletree, Florence Henagan, Lillian Douglas, Jean Franke, Ruth Lee Mar- tin, and Nelle Whetstone. When the tennis doubles tournament topped the list in interest, the courts were filled from sunrise until dusk with eager tennis fans. Ann Ogletree maintained her usual game and won the tennis doubles tournament with her doubles partner, Bubs Owen. Lillian Nabors and Margaret Preston held second place in this tourney. A popular sport at the Gym parties as well as when the Tournament time rolls around is badminton. Shuttle-cock enthusiasts had to wait in line for courts because this was such a favorite leisure-time activity. Catherine Stone climbed to the top in this Tour- nament with Anne Smith right on her heels in second place. Probably the sport in which most Hilltoppers participated in 1945-46 was Table Ten- nis. The ping of the celluloid ball never ceased throughout the day at the Gym. Mar- tellia Bell crossed the finish line ahead of her competitors and won first place. In the fall, there was volleyball; winter brought basketball; spring found white shirts and green gym shorts on the quadrangle and this meant softball. The spirit of the girls on the Hilltop in their 1946 Intramural Program was a tribute to the Physical Ed De- partment. The lively competition in the Tournaments afforded the entire campus a picture of a well-rounded college girl who is interested in sports. The age when only the out-door girl participated had ended. 1946 saw every girl on the Hilltop par- ticipating in her favorite sport. The Fall Quarter of 1946 found ten Southern Women capping the list as the High Point Scorers for their participa- tion in fall sports. Those High Pointers included: Ann Ogletree, Margaret Pres- ton, Lillian Nabors, Mary Leta English, Ruth Lee Martin, Catherine Stone, Sa- rah Fisch, Florence Henagan, Martelha Bell, and Jean Norton. . CONIZATION Meetings, meetings, and more meetings. Yes, there were extra-curricular activities. No advisor had to urge his ad- visees to follow his interest in a particular organization. 1945-46 was the organizer ' s hey-day. From the brewers in the chemistry lab who joined the American Chemical Society to the student with a leaning toward the classic languages in Phi Sigma Iota, all chose membership in some group. The Greensboro room housed supper meetings every night of the week. The BMOC ' S who had to attend the various meetings found it trying. However, the tra- dition of the Liberal Arts College where one has the op- portunity to participate with those interested in his same work found the organization life on the Hilltop varied as well as hectic.

Recognizing those men on the campus who have given their efforts and interests to the ideals of Southern is one of the purposes of this honorary organization. This group, purposing to foster higher ideals of schol- arship and leadership, compliments those on the campus who have distinguished them- selves in their achievements. Not only is O. D. K. appreciated for its ideals and traditional accomplishments, but also for the gift which it makes each year to Southern students. The much-needed student directory is published each year by O. D. K. The numerous activities of individual O. D. K. actives plus the work of the group as a unit make this organization one of the leaders on the Hilltop. 112 w MORTA O 4 K II OFFICERS Presidents Natalie Smith Secretary Ruth Pass Beene Treasurer Mary Elizabeth Akeroyd Faculty Advisers Dr. Leon Sensabaugh Dr. Harold H.

This group did not lack for social activities while in the process of developing their mental capacities, for their picnics and holiday parties with K. D. E. became an established custom. Supper meetings in the Greensboro room was the traditional background for the educational queries of this group.

The trials and tribulations of Mr. Stephen Dill, in his attempt to organize a creditable group of mu- sicians to present to the Hilltop afforded him the sympathy of both students and fac- ulty. With the increased enrollment, bright hopes were envisaged for interested college musicians. Strains of melodies from Beethoven to Mozart beaconed Hilltoppers to every Wednes- day Convocation. The lilting accompanient for Southern ' s production of Patience will long be remembered as one of the Orchestra ' s most beautiful accomplishments. 118 n MU ALPHA OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Publicity Chairman. ..Maxine Berthon — James Brittain Eugenia Puckett Jeanne Kern Bubs Owen MEMBERS Mary Louise Coker . . .

In the many heated discussions over a particular phase of the musical life at Southern, not a discordant note was heard. Mu Alpha ' s purpose on the Hilltop was two-fold: first, to recognize those interested in building apprecia- tion of fine music on the campus and second, to honor the active and talented musi- cians at Southern. Many outstanding programs were presented to the campus during the year, but es- pecially to be remembered were the voice recital presented by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hunter, Anne Lewis, and the violin concert by Mr. Stephen Dill.

A trek to the various labs where the fumes of formaldehyde greeted you, leads one to the habitat of our biology- minded Hilltoppers. It was for this group of undergrad scientists that Chi Nu Tau was founded on the Hilltop in 1941. Chi Nu Tau afforded its clan knowledge of the numerous fields of specialization in the biology world. The year ' s program was made more interesting by visits to clinics and hospitals where members observed the various operations. However, this lab group of Hilltoppers did not spend every minute with forceps in hand, for the social life of the group was stimulated by parties and pic i :s with their brother group, Skull and Bones. 120 r ETA C I ELTA OFFICERS President Lillian Douglas Vice-President George Simmons Secretary-Treasurer Doris Miller MEMBERS Mary Benef ield . . .

The year one thou- sand, nine hundred forty-five will long b; remembered as the year when chemists ran rampant on the toes of the common man. With the vast majority of citizens confused, bewildered, and aghast at another tried and proven completed experiment, members of Theta Chi Delta and American Chemical Society set out to enlighten Hilltoppers as to the meaning of this powerful discovery. The Cellar with its literary air became so interested in this unknown field that Mr. Wiger discussed for the Cellar audience the make-up of this chemical. 1945 . . . the y, ' ar the Southern chemist will never forget!

But other parts of the world were not neglected. Flora Loo Lee, a Chinese student witnessed the all student forum 01 the Komingtang versus Communism. All in all, Southern and the International Relations Club was thoroughly international. 122 CROSS OFFICERS Chairman Sarah Fiscii Production Chairman ___JFlorence Henagan Publicity Chairman Carolyn Noel Faculty Adviser ____.Mrs. Leon Sensabaugh The fact that there was no longer a war to spur the Red Cross on to more activities did not discourage the local Red Cross Chapter for this group of girls continued giving assistance in many helpful directions. Nurses ' Aide, Canteen chores, production and staff assistance continued to fill the hours of many Hilltop workers. Outstanding in the 1946 Red Cross program was the station wagon trip to Northington General Hos- pital where talent from Southern cheered wounded servicemen with an original show. The 1946 Red Cross program underwent a reconversion from giving aid to the neces- sary work of the war to selecting peacetime duties to benefit those affected as a result of the war.

En- tertaining students of Southern with their traditional Sunday teas, greeting new high school students during their first week on the campus, and sweeping, moping, dust- ing in preparation for the magnificent new furniture were only three of the pro- grams which prexy Catherine Stone and he girls carried on. The Intramural progress of this group amazed onlookers what with the famous Bib Hughes never missing a goal during the basketball tournament. Independent means action on the Hilltop.

Initiation into this group receives comment from the campus and it is a day of rejoicing for new members when they go back to bobby sox and plaid skirts. Amazons draw its members from the outstanding sorority girls on the Hilltop with all seven sisterhoods being represented by one or more stalwarts. Great girl preoccupation currently has been the traditional Amazonian Backwards Dance where girl dates boy and picks up the check, says it with flowers and presumably behaves like a perfect gentleman.

Back in 1942 and ' 43, there resounded over the Hilltop the lusty voices of G. I ' s in their army khakis. Now, these boys are back in the Bookstore, browsing in the library, dis- covering the Cellar, joining fraternities, and waiting in the long lunch line. These are the men who have combined all their forces into a strong Veterans Organiza- tion. Under the admirable leadership of Farley Green, this group has served as a nucleus for the other campus activities of new veterans which enter Southern. The Veterans have not only added to the polit- ical phase of the Southern Campus such as providing members on the Executive Council, Jo Zicarelli and John Kent, and Honor Council member, Charlie Beavers, but these boys have added a new touch to the social life on the Hilltop with their popular Orchestra. Without a doubt, the VETERANS most well-known members of this group are the two female members. The intense in- terest which the Veterans have shown in regard to their relations with the accepted traditions of the Hilltop signify the importance of the 1946 Veterans Organization.

Giving aid to other new students in orientation and guiding them over the rough unchartered scholastic route was only a part of this group ' s contribution to life on the Hilltop. Under the capable leadership of Jean Cochran, the Y member in charge of this phase of the Y. W. C. A. work, the Frosh Commission gave added meaning to the regular meetings of Southern ' s Y. W. C.
