ui EDITOR BUBS OWEN Trying desperately to interest ev- ery student in the publication of the 1946 Accent , Bubs pleaded with one and all to have pictures made. 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

GOVERNMENT Eiecutife Council The work of the Executive Council during the year has centered primarily around the management of the War Stamp Campaign. 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.

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
