A reputa¬ tion such as this is difficult to achieve hut even more difficult to maintain through the years. It was for the purpose of maintaining these values that Wesleyan’s College Govern¬ ment Association was created many years ago. This govern¬ ing body was given the power to impose a penalty for the violation of a rule. The aim of imposing such penalties was then and is now to develop a sense of responsibility in the individual, to help her formulate a standard of values, and to realize the significance of honor as the basis of character. The name of Wesleyan has carried with it attributes of character, personality, and Christianity throughout its his¬ tory. It is the responsibility of College Government to up¬ hold and maintain these attributes with the development and welfare of the individual foremost in its purpose. With the creation of the Honor System, Wesleyan has car¬ ried with her a quotation that has expressed her goals, aims, and ideals for her student body. With these words in the hearts of every Wesleyanne a high sense of honor and in¬ tegrity is inevitable. “This above all To thine own self be true t And it must follow , as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” 9 C G A OFFICERS RUTH WHITE JEANNICE HAMMOND MARTHA McCOKKLE ATHELYN WADE ANN SIIEARIIOISE SARA BOB WARE MARY ALICE JACKSON FRANCES MOULTIIROP Co-Preaidenla Co-Vice President a Co-Secretariea Co-Trenaurera - l«l Row: J.

It is the only religious organization on the campus and is inter-denomina¬ tional in its emphasis. Stimulation of spiritual growth is the aim of its broad program of worship, study, and action. Students are encouraged to begin each day with soft organ music and meditation at Morning Watch and to gather in small groups before bedtime for Taps. Wednesday night Vespers and a chapel service provide other op¬ portunities for weekly worship. Religious Emphasis Weeks and observances of special seasons, such as Christmas and Easter, high¬ light the year ' s program. Students are urged to participate in at least one of Y’s five com¬ missions for study of Christian faith, personal, community, and world affairs. These same commissions encourage action in each of these fields by fostering such projects as a Friendship Fund for missions and regular visits to local institutions for children. The scope of the program does not end here, however, hut em¬ braces any activity or interest which may further Christian living. “Y” OFFICERS Firnt Rote: M. C. € bb. I’hylli (.lough.

The Social Committee of the Fine Arts Campus combined with Social Standards of the Liberal Arts College to form one of the four major organizations. In the early fall the new Tri K Pirates were entertained at an informal dance, which depicted the deep South with “Basin Street in New Orleans.” November rolled around—and again preparations began for our annual “Homecoming” weekend. The first big formal dance of the year was climaxed with the presentation of the “Homecoming Queen.” Charm Week marked a good beginning for the new semester with many pointers on the meaning of charm and hints on how to attain it. Charm week ended with the Winter Formal where “Miss Charm¬ ing” candidates were presented. Spring Frolics weekend in May signaled the end of another Social Standards Calendar. The May Queen and her court were presented while the Dance Club provided entertainment for all. That night bows and frills, danced away the evening with their favorite beaux at the Spring Formal. So the curtain falls once again on a full and busy year for Social Standards. Co-Prenident JOYCE PARIS Junior-Senior Board— Sealed: Ealinc Halley, Jeannine Hin on, Martha Neuffer.

This was published by the Adel- phean Society, fore-runner of Alpha Delta Pi So¬ rority, and was limited in its picture content. The effort of the class of 99 was followed six years later by the publication of an edition known as the ‘Zig-Zag also containing drawings and pic¬ tures. The following year there appeared an annual much like ours of today in content, beautifully bound in purple suede. There was found on the cover of 1913 s annual the mysterious name ‘Klu-Klux.’ but this was sen¬ sibly supplanted a few years later by the current title. ‘Veterropt’ was born by a combination of the Latin words vertimus and optimus, meaning oldest and best—an apt name for the publication which brings to its readers a panorama of Wesleyan. Since 1928 the annual has been two pictures— the Fine and Liberal Arts Colleges being represented in separate sections. The 1934 annual has become once more a unit, and the combination of the two colleges has enlarged the scene and increased the scope of the publication. Typist —Jeanne Reid; Photography Editor .

Libby Glenn, Syd Willis 17 A T O A A JEAN THRASHER Editor THIRTY YEARS OF RECORDING N E WS “As the old tower on the conservatory campus stands watch over the stately halls and reports all the happenings therein by the faithful ringing of its hell, so its namesake will follow, lead and report all the happenings therein by the faithful tapping of typists.” Thus read the editorial in the first edition of the Watchtower on September 22, 1923. Celebrating this year, its thirtieth year of continuous publication, the Watchtower, now Town and Country, was not the first publication to record events at Wesleyan. Before the typewriter era the first Philomatheon Gazette was written in longhand and distributed among the students in 1857. The newspaper contained editorials on Woman’s Influence, Pleasure, Fame, and Good Sense and Duty. Embracing fiction, wit, humor, current happenings and college news,” the Gazette printed short stories and continued novelettes by students, as well as news reports. The Adelphian Chronicle was also in existence by 1858 as an early news¬ paper. Not until the appearance of the Wesleyan Journal in 1892 was an attempt made to present the news of the college as a whole rather than news devoted to either of the two societies. However, publication stopped after a few years. The Watchtower became Town and Country in 1950. Now issued every two weeks to the students and faculty of the college. Town and C ountry stated in an editorial this year. “The purpose of this newspaper is to represent Wes¬ leyan College and to serve as a voice of its students.

This was during the year 1902-03, and since that time, this publication has enjoyed a steady progress. The Wesleyan is a magazine published four times a year, and in it are found short stories, feature articles, poetry, and any other type of creative writing. All the material is original and prepared by the students. Scribes is a literary organization whose membership depends upon writing ability and contributions to publica¬ tions. The members of this organization must write for the Wesleyan, and they put out one issue of the magazine. The new members must he elected by unanimous vote of the Scribes. € K U C I CLUB II L E Here is the science club at Wesleyan, including majors in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Psychology and Home Economics. Students in these five departments present a program each month on developments in their field. One of the main events of the year is the Crucible Club Carousel, which sponsors exhibits of each science and the annual faculty stunt. This year the faculty presented a radio drama, “An Eye for an Eye.” The profits from the Carousel were used to bring to this campus Dr. M. C. Lang- horne, a psychologist, from Emory University as the Leon P. Smith speaker. JUNE CASON President First Rote: S. Woodward, J. Shapiro. J. Ca on, R. Voight. B. Ros . J. Baker, J. A. Little.

It tries to inform the students, teach them to participate wisely in the government and to help them to become better citizens. Membership is open to all. Government, History and Sociology majors, however, compose the largest majority of its body. With the help of Dr. Florence Sheriff as faculh advisor, assisted by Miss Cornelia Shiver, many informa¬ tive and interesting programs have been planned. At monthly meetings the club has had guest speakers present their ideas on important civic jobs and duties. Registration for voting of all girls has been stressed during this year.

Its membership is composed of students who are Sociology majors, or have completed three courses in Sociology and wish to join. The activities of the club consist of promoting interest in various fields of community social work, and presenting programs of an informative nature about these fields. When¬ ever possible active participation by the members in proj¬ ects in the community is encouraged. The special programs of the club are open to all students, and bring to the cam¬ pus a variety of outstanding speakers in Sociology and related fields. ■ rr wiS i .x • J I St. APai Row 1: While, J.

The highlights of the year were our participation at the State Convention of Music Clubs, held at Agnes Scott Col¬ lege. the election of one of our members as state secretary of Federated Student Clubs, participation at the Junior Music Clubs in Atlanta, and being hostess to the Macon Federated Music Club at the Christmas Concert. All of us—the performers as well as the directors—are joined in a single purpose—to furnish an eager and ap¬ preciative audience with music of the higest caliber.

Together we learn by seeing others perform and by dis¬ cussing what we have seen. In this way we can study various approaches, depths, ranges, and interpretations. Because of the kind of individual competition which exists in the theatre, there is never enough group communication. In groups people can learn by sharing ideas, opinions and experiences. It is our hope that through group activity, we. as actors and theatre craftsmen together, can realize a ma¬ ture talent: authority and confidence tempered by an ob¬ jectivity toward work in creating.

As members we enjoy finding answers to questions for which time will not allow in the classroom, becoming acquainted with men and women we may not otherwise meet, and having companionship with each other in the light of personal interests. Programs enjoyed in 1953-54 were: students exhibits, series of lectures on Modern Living by an architect, an interior decorator, and a landscapist, lectures by artist, conjunction with the Macon Art Association which is important to us, for it brings to Macon exhibits and shows that enrich our student programs. The Club carries on a necessary tradition; the under¬ standing of the fine arts expression, and the love for it. Art Exhibit in Student Lounge by Fine Art Club Row l: M. A. Jark on, E. Hodge , T. L.

The plan was introduced as a preventative measure against too many clubs on campus. Hut the three clubs that are included in the individual sports pro¬ gram have varied interests. The Toxopholites are the archery enthusiasts. I uesday after¬ noons find them with bow and arrow in hand. They have a fall and spring tournament every year. Saturday mornings almost any time, from six o’clock on, the hikers may be seen trudging through the countryside. One hundred miles earns a hiking letter. “Horses, horses, crazy over horses” is the cry of the Eques¬ trians. Members are chosen for their riding form and love of the sport. They plan rides on Saturday afternoons, for supper, and overnight. BARBARA NORRIS TOXOPHOLITES Left to Righi—lit Row: B. Went, B. Remig, C. Randall, S. Shafer, H. Ca kin , M. A.

They must also he willing to put in some hard work. Their water show requires hours of practice and days of wet hair. “Sea Moods And Man” was the theme of this year ' s Aquacade. The accompanying narration brought a description to give added meaning to each phase of the performance. “Watch the sea throughout the day And into night , as its tides take Every turn of nature , And reveal the meaning Of its mood. Each phase of the life of man Is reflected in the action Of the sea. And if man would seek to fulfill His function half so well — He would need to recognize and meet The challenge of each day — For, if achieved , the final unity Would he a picture Of the personality of both man and sea .” Finer row—Left to Right: A.

But then, a rumor of the Green Tidal Wave panicked them. Only when the wave was upon them did they realize that the ocean was cavort¬ ing with them to give them a sense of belonging there. From then on the sailing was fine. The Pirates participated in deck sports such as soccer, volleyball, tennis and golf. Some were top swim¬ mers and became Naiads. The Pirates rounded the Cape of VIid-Semester Grades with little trouble and traveled the Sea of Semester Exams in high winds. They went “all hands on deck” for Home¬ coming and the Stunt, and participated with true pirate spirit in basketball. Many helped with Radio Day and the dances; the Pirates joined clubs and were elected to the governing organizations. The Pirates learned much from their voyages, and next year they will set out again for new ports with new seas to conquer and the “Jolly Roger” still flying high in the breeze. 51 2d v • JULIETTE ADAMS Winchester, Ky MILDRED AMMONS Atlanta, Ca. .

Christmas Entertainment omore a add ARLENE ATKINS 58 Sura Lee Lane, Arline Atkins. Clare Dorset!, Jo Copeland OFFICERS ARLINE ATKINS SARA LEE LANE JO COPELAND CLARE DOR SETT It gives us a funny feeling to pause and think over these last two years. Why, it seems like only yesterday that we were freshmen. The excitement of being in college, dorm life, and class activities failed to wear off after the first few months. We soon realized that we had an extra spark of fire, and we never missed a chance to fan the flame. Before we knew it, June was here and home we went, ter¬ ribly anxious to sleep late in the mornings and to eat ten square meals a day. We returned in September, a Sophomore Class with that same freshman spirit and enthusiasm. Oh, how we lived and planned for Rat Day, which proved to be the most fun and perhaps the most work of the year. With Home¬ coming came the full realization of how much we were going to miss our Big Sisters the following year. They have been so much a part of our success and happiness. S O V II o President Vice President Secretary .. Treasurer But something was wrong—“Where was the Sophomore Slump?” There just wasn’t time for it in our busy schedule so we passed it up in favor of more important things such as stunt and making the Conservatory feel welcome. It’s been a difficult year for all of us but something positive has emerged from our hard work and many woes. Adjustments have been made and challenges met. and as a result, we are no longer the Rivoli and Conservatory kids—we are the Class of ’56. It’s the little things that we ' ll remember as well as the big functions, for they are the happenings that are printed on the heart and mind. So it is with these remembrances that we look backward on two unforgettable years. But it is with a sense of responsibility and a realization of purpose that we look forward to our Junior year.

SOI II O M O It E S 63 I — ■ LUCILLE FOSSUM JUDY FULLER FRANCES MOULTHROP LOUISE CAWLEY President Vice President Secretary Treasurer September ’51: the Golden Hearts—127 strong—arrived at Wesleyan, slightly bewildered at first hut filled with the excitement of starting a new life, confident that we could do whatever we set our minds to do. Then October brought, through the black of night, the Purple Knights decked out in scars, scowls, and nooses. After the ordeal of Rat Dav was over, with the help and love of our big sister Tri-K’s, we rushed through the remainder of our freshman year in what seemed like just a couple of months. September ’52: we returned— that is, half of us returned, bedding bells and co-ed universities had won out over Wesleyan for some of our Golden Hearts. But those of us who had come hack, after playing the part of the mighty sophomores on Rat Day, suffered through that horrible Homecoming soccer defeat. English Lit, and the sophomore slump; we sang “All God’s Chilluns Got Shoes,” and ended our year by bidding farewell to the Tri-K s as we hooded our big sisters at their graduation. September ’53: we began a new. a brighter year with the Conservatory and Rivoli all together. And what a year it was. Why, we had little sisters! No more could we rush over to Banks with our many problems. No, our little sis¬ ter Tri-K’s came to us in Banks with their problems. Yes, we lived in Banks with the mighty Purple Knights whom we had feared so much just two years before. At Homecoming, we— the “lemon class” as we had so often been called before— tied with those Purple Knights for first place and the soccer cup! Looking back we remember the thrill of getting our school rings, and also the sorrow during the year in losing some of our class who wore plain gold bands instead. But now’ we look ahead to the fall of ’Si when we shall return for the last time. How our first three years have flown by! Realizing that we haven’t much time left here, we try to do as much as we can in that precious time. And we know we’ll come back in September to begin our final, our best, our most memorable year at Wesleyan. J U X I O II CLASS 65 T _ ■■ ——— PATSY BARFIELD Dude City, Fla.

Nell Warren § E N I O II OFF I NELL WARREN PATSY ANN DAVISON EMILY COOK JUNE CASON As a seed was planted so was our life at Wesleyan. It was auiumn and most of the seeds were being scattered in many directions. Some of these fell in one area and began iheir growth ... so our class began its growth at Wesleyan College. Greetings were made, good-byes said and trunks unpacked amidst a week of parties and fun. During this year friends were thrown in showers, laundry carts were raced loudly down the halls, ink was poured on sleeping classmates, books were merely glanced through, and hysteria remained throughout this first wonderful year. The young plant struggles to peep through the hard earth toward the sunlight, and as our sophomore year began we discovered it was hard to find time to glance up from our books to go to class and meals. Though this year was dif¬ ficult and trying, we still managed to have fun. dressing in black and painting our faces, trying to swim the lake, and riding up and down on the elevator. We brought a TV theme into stunt night and sobbed our hearts out for losing. As CLASS ERS President Vice I resident Secretary Treasurer the year ended we proudly hooded our big sisters at gradua¬ tion. As a plant produces its buds so did we choose our majors and gain little sisters. Studies were more normal and life ran smoothly. Winning second place in the stunt brought happiness in our hearts and as we became basketball champ¬ ions for the third time the basketball cup was placed in our hands and broad smiles covered our faces. A year of greater happiness could not have been found anywhere. Now the bud is ready to bloom and so are we ready to find our places in the world. This year stunt night was even more of a challenge and graduation invitations were looked upon with thrills. Yes, the bloom is almost ready to burst forth from its protective covering. Tears are held back by a smile and friends are hugged good-bye as our purple blooms look through the warm sunlight toward the clear sky of the future. • 1 r A “ 1 71 g i l ANN MATTHEWS AIKEN Atlanta , Ga.

PSYCHOLOGY Susan might be something borrowed from a cameo, with all her curls and such, but don ' t let this cause you to underestimate her! She’s a demon of efficiency, a homemaker of the first degree, and a mighty capable lass in any department. The little waist is all that’s slight about Susan, for in all things she ' s a source of strength, with maybe a little monkey-business, when the light touch is needed.

HISTORY Ambling casually through every day . . . Ritchey takes her time to do everything to its absolute finish. With a personality as full of surprises as her speech is rich with her Southern Kentucky drawl, Ritchey finds time some¬ how to be interested in every thing ... he it how T you butter your toast in the morning to what style bedroom shoes you wear! And, if you’re looking for the answer to some monstrous history question ... or maybe how to chase a rat with your mop handle . . . you can bet your Confederate flag, Ritchey can slowly but surely give you the answer.

(1st place) WESLEYAN COLLEGE V a FESTIVAL OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS APRIL 5-8, 1954 Wesleyan College began its series of CONTEMPO¬ RARY ARTS AND FESTIVALS with the belief that bringing the students and the community into contact with creative trends of our own time would broaden their artistic horizons and help to develop understand¬ ing, criteria and discernment. The results have amply justified this philosophy. A wide variety of works of varying styles has had a strong impact upon students and guests. The prepara¬ tion and performance of these works has been a stimulat¬ ing experience to performers and a challenge to auditors and viewers. This year’s festival had for its theme CONTEMPOR¬ ARY ARTS IN LIVING TODAY. 126 TII E UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA STRING QUARTET: Left to Right: Ot- lokur (iadt ' k, firnt Violin; Jrrrif Cadck, MTond iolin; llcnry Barrett. viola; Mar¬ garet Christy. cello.
