As you enter the area of your individual choice, you will carry with you our high expectation and good wishes for abundant success. Each of you has made a fine and appreciated contribution to our student life and your achievements as alumnae will add honor and distinction to your Alma Mater. Every happiness to you in the years ahead. Sincerely, PAUL M. COUSINS, President. AND THE DEANS DEAR SENIORS: Your stay at Shorter has made a contribution to the life here. As you fill your stations in life, you will add to the already fine reputation of social and cultural leadership Shorter enjoys. We are proud of you as our students and always will claim you as Alumnae with pride even as you claim Shorter your Alma Mater. Sincerely, EVERETT E. PORTER. Dean. TO THE CLASS OF ' 48: Soon June will arrive and with it comes the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another for you of ' 48. ' Tis a strange mixture this feeling I have of pride in your achieve- ments, of eagerness for you to show your abili- ties in other channels, and yet, of reluctance to have you leave us here at Shorter. The things which you have contributed as individuals and as a class to the good life here will remain with us; the benefits you have received during these past four years will be a storehouse of strength for you throughout the years. May there be with you always, the deep con- sciousness of our continuing interest and unceas- ing good wishes in the things you seek to accomplish. LYDIA DIXON SHEPPARD, Dean of Women. DR.

Rushing! And we do mean rush- ing a few topsy-turvy, jam-packed days ending in a flurry of red, white, and green, and green and green and the last mad dash to the border. Then classes ah, boredom! But not for long. The Sophomores and sore muscles kept us from a dull existence for a week. Soon Bobbie for president and getting our ban- ner the Whoop- ' em-up wedding we were really a full-pledged class and how proud we were! We thought we were something building teepees all over the school and cutting down half the forest in prepa- ' -. -- at On obi cu-b ti spring wane forever d ! ' ration for our party is it any wonder that we could nor wait to hear what our big sisters would say! And so the year passed. Here we were Sophomores and soon conducting private air raids with the help of those ever-obedi- ent freshmen. How gay, treating the whole school to the pleasant odor of shrimp when Bobbie ' s keg full arrived from home. This year our big sisters were walking in a Winter Wonderland and then before we knew it, it was time to learn the Whoop- ' em-up songs we ' ll never forget the thrill of Dreams and the knowledge of true deep friendship. Our Sopho- more year came to a close with I ' m a Daisy, Hail, Dear Old Shorter, and the sadness that comes with parting. Juniors, and big sisters with Holly to lead us, this was the year of tradition-breaking and making for the Junior class crowned Sally as Carnival Queen the Whoop- ' em-up wedding became instead a cere- mony in which the Juniors and Freshmen united their hearts and minds in loyalty to Shorter, genera- tion, and class. No little sisters ever did a better job than ours on their Mardi Gras. This was also the year of Shorter ' s first big dance and open house. Cupid was working overtime, too, with Mimi, Holly, and Martha as targets With the election of Ruth, Virginia, and Rita to lead the student body next year, we began to realize -what was in store. Seniors need we say more? With Eloyse at the wheel we got down to work and ended up with Ellen as Co-Queen of the Carnival and the volley- ball cup to show that we took a little exercise on the side. Our cabin trips, Senior coffees, the dances, and the wonderful party our little sisters gave helped to make our year one of the happiest. But the highspot came when we ignored comprehensives and spent our spring vacation on the sands of Daytona. Graduation and farewell but in our hearts we made a promise to forever cherish the friends, the memories, and the ideals that Shorter has given to the class of ' 48. SAD SACKS HOLLY AND BILL , V .

O ' t THE SPORTS ASSOCIATION Every Shorter student is a member of the Sports Associa- tion. It is the aim of this organization to promote not mas- tery, but an interest in sportsmanship and physical well being. So every afternoon at 5:00 we heard the familiar sound of Rita ' s whistle and the yell, Sports Practice! To promote especial interest the Sports Association sponsored hikes, Play Day, and of course the old tradition, Health Week. With the help of the White and Gold and the entire efforts of every girl at Shorter, we have seen a steady increase of interest that each one is taking in keeping physically fit.

Though the entire student body is enrolled in the association, its work is directed by a group of students known as the cabinet. The presidents of the denomina- tional groups are ex-officio members of the cabinet. S.C.A. sponsors a variety of activities, including the Daily Morning Watch, the Tuesday Evening worship service, the Thought For the Day and Sunday Vespers. In an effort to make religion practical, we endeavor to sponsor some form of social service, both at home and abroad. In the fall the Halloween Carnival climaxes an exciting drive, whose proceeds are used to fill Thanksgiving baskets and to give other practical aid to needy families of Rome. The associa- tion contributes to the World Student Service Fund and to work toward a world Christian community. Our specific purpose is for every Shorter girl to realize full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. In this task, we seek to understand Jesus and to follow Christ.
