Once again we will hear shouts of triumph ringing from the gym as a point is scored—once again we will walk through the courtyard and up the steps to the loggia— m THE CERAMICS BUILDING we knew it once again we will hear the slow drip-drip of a cold winter rain splashing from the bushes around the library steps—and although we thought perhaps we never would, we will miss them—the sights and sounds of our college. THE MOUNT VERNON PORCH 11 THE CONSERVATORY At Wesleyan we are constantly reminded of the old and the new, both of which concern us during our college days, and neither of which is worth considering if the other is ignored. The old Wesleyan is the one of which we speak with pride, and a certain degree of nostalgia. It is the Wes¬ leyan that we find in books, in pictures, in stories; it is the Wesleyan that we find embodied in the Conservatory, which is its symbol and its shrine. 12 The new Wesleyan is growing every minute, and its latest addition is the beautiful Porter Family Memorial Auditorium, which we used for the first time only last January. In this building will be practiced all the things that the old Wesleyan stood for—drama, music, art, the only difference being that they have been brought up-to-date and put in more modern surroundings. .I ' taji L the old and the new DR. B. JOSEPH MARTIN Chairs scraped, students rose and applauded, it had just been announced that Wesleyan had been chosen to receive a Ford Foundation Grant. This was a highpoint in our year. There were many others. Behind them all was the leadership of Dr. Martin. He has worked with us and for us to build and maintain the Wesleyan which we know and love. president v... -J DEAN AKERS SPOKE to us at the opening chapel of the year. We remember him saying: I dream my dreams and see my visions ... I dream of a Wes¬ leyan made great by the inner will of every member to work with others for a common goal. And in hi s devotion to his dream, Dean Akers has inspired us and has gained our coop¬ eration, respect, and love. DEAN SAMUEL L. AKERS WE HAVE SEEN DEAN JORGENSEN many times and in many moods: behind his desk, he listened gravely to our problems and counseled us; crossing the campus he smiled, nod¬ ded briskly and continued on his way to inspect the Fine Arts Build¬ ing; and again we have seen him standing, hands raised, creating music. As an artist, an advisor, an administrator, and above all a friend, we will remember Dean Sigurd Jorgensen. DR RICHARD H. KLEMER Assistant to the President MRS. CHARLES C. HINTON Assistant to the President MR. CAMERON R. PEDEN Business Manager DR. RICHARD KLEMER. a man of many capabilities, has served us in varied ways. We honor him here in his official capacity as Assistant to the President. MRS. HINTON—We recall gra¬ cious charm which we hope scmsday to emulate; we re¬ member loyalty and devotion to the ideals of Wesleyan. MR. CAMERON PEDEN — We acknowledge industry and a deep concern over the econom¬ ic welfare of the school. 16 1 administration AS CHAPLAIN, Dr. Hinson has led our spiritual life. For his guildance, concern and for the example he has set, we are in¬ debted. CAN I HELP YOU? and some¬ how she always can. No mat¬ ter what the problem, you find a friendly smile and a solution when you stop in Miss Domin¬ go ' s office in Tate Hall. ARE YOU VERY BUSY? And though she is, Miss Winn finds a minute to help. We think of a quality which we cannot name and which inspires within us admiration and confidence. DR. WILLIAM HINSON Chaplain MISS ALICE DOMINGOS Registrar MISS ELIZABETH WINN Registrar MRS. FRANK ESTES Dean ol Women WE CALL HER MRS. E. with affection; and we leave to her all the big problems which she makes little and dispatches with speed. MISS MARY BETHEA Assistant to the Dean SHARP HEELS CLICK on the hall and Miss Bethea drops in for a visit. We have found in her both comradeship and leadership. AS WE CLIMB the curving library steps we feel a ler Memorial is quiet and orderly, yet very much alive book and from the accumulated knowledge which is at Miss Hoge, Miss Lamon, Mrs. McGarrity, 18 INTO THEIR HANDS the home-like quality of Wesleyan has been placed. We think of capable hands tending the guest book, arranging flowers.

We ask the librarians for a their fingertips they hand us the facts we seek. Miss Carnes, Librarians. administration ALWAYS READY AND WILLING to be of assistance, the Publicity Staff covers campus activities. For help and encouragement the Veterropt says a special thank you. A 19 MISS BETTY PARSONS and Miss Mary Joyce Horton (stand¬ ing) seem engrossed in the files while Miss Frances Strohicker and Miss Christine Nicholas (seated) discuss the work for the day. BANKS CLOSED! and Mrs. Camp, Miss Buckner and Mrs. Taylor (standing) join Mrs. Ann Coleman in a moment of relaxation. MRS. HARMON AND Mrs. Morgan leaf through the ma triculation book and plan new ways to unite the new with the old at Wesleyan. MRS. MACK, (Mrs. Mac- Fayden) and Miss Jensen ward off another Wesley- anne ' s cold with their mi¬ raculous little red pills. HERE ARE YOUR STAMPS, Suzie; I ' ll get that package now ... and smiling¬ ly Mrs. Walter Bennett acts as a link between school and home. administration A BIRTHDAY DINNER is the topic of discussion as Miss Gar- ratt, Miss Johnson and Mrs. Hurst pause awhile to talk with Tap. INDISPENSABLE TO WES¬ LEYAN, Mr. Redmond is caught in a rare moment of relaxation. MRS. CLARK TAKES A MOMENT from her busy day in the Pharm to chat with Mrs. Northington (our Grace) in the book¬ store. A A FINE AUTUMN DAY and Dean Akers of the Philosophy Department pauses for a moment to greet Mr. Johnson. Miss Bethea and Dr. Hinson of the Religion Department. 22 DISCUSSING THE CONTEMPO¬ RARY ARTS FESTIVAL are Dr. Bosch, Miss Nicholas, Mr. Bosch and Mr. Gaines of the Art Depart¬ ment. They ask the impossible and somehow we do it. They set the standard high and we barely reach it. They raise the standard and we meet that one too. And so we learn. faculty IN THE LAB, Miss Zillig, Doc Howell and Mr Rebuck of the Biology De¬ partment prepare a fresh¬ man exhibit. 23 A LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT MEETS TO HEAR A NEW RECORD; Miss Kern. Horsbiugh, Miss Broome, and Dr. Stewart check the speed. We remember the faculty in every phase of campus life: the calm with which they led us through registration; classes and field trips, especially that first one—to Ocmulgee; the club meetings in which their very presence contributed so much, Wesleyan paste-up at Dr. Stewart ' s, Y meetings at the John¬ son ' s with Mr. Emmett ' s Rice Krispy candy, and the way they helped Crucible Club by putting on the Faculty Stunt. faculty 24 MEETING ON COMMON GROUND Dr. Bledsoe and Mr. Beckman of CHATTING IN MR. McLEAN ' S STUDIO are members of the Music Department Mr. Zorin, Dr. Fisher, Mr. McLean, and Miss Allen. Dr. Murdock of the Psychology Department and the Education Department discuss child guidance. ENGROSSED IN WEIGHING SOMETHING, even the photog¬ rapher doesn ' t distract Miss Davis and Mr. Bamaby of the Mathematics Department and Dr. Beynon (seated) of the Chem¬ istry Department. A 25 faculty ON THE WAY TO CHAPEL, The English Department with Miss Trabue leading Miss Munck, Dr. Gossett, Miss Gay, and Dr. Gignilliat, leaves Tate Hall. And we think of the Faculty at play. Dean Akers as Jimmy A-Kiss, the Three Bird-brained Bats in a return engagement, Miss Allen singing that beautiful German love song while standing on her head. Playing, too, on the volleyball and basketball courts, and inevitably winning the student-faculty softball game in the spring. MEMBERS OF THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT, Miss Hors- brugh, Mr. Foster, Dean Jorgensen and Mr. Roeder seem amused over some¬ thing in the score. 26 IN THE PHARM IN AN INFORMAL MOMENT Mrs. Johnson and Dr. Klemer of the Sociology Department and Mrs. Harber of the Home Economics Department have a cup of coffee with Dr. Rowland, also of the Sociology Department. THREE GOOD SPORTS! The Phys ical Education Department is com posed of Miss Pritchett, Miss Harden and Miss Upshaw. 27 A DISCUSSING THE NEWS OF THE DAY, are Miss Shiver and Dr. Sherriff on the History Department. ON THE STEPS. Mr. O ' Steen. Mr. Zimmerman, and Miss Keeler of the Music Department pause in their inspection of the Porter Fam¬ ily Memorial. THE SPEECH DEPARTMENT, Miss Pate, Miss Simonson and Mr. Samsen make plans for The Gioconda Smile with Mr. Griffith, second on the left, of the radio department. In a more serious vein we remember the pleasure of faculty recitals, speeches at club meetings, the wonder of personal friendships, the understand¬ ing counsel we received, the give and take of faculty-student discussions. Finally we remember graduation and we see ourselves as seniors crossing the stage to receive our diplomas. The faculty is behind us and we realize anew that they have been behind us in everything we have done at Wesleyan.

Car broke down, she states flatly. The newspaper comes out carrying an exceptionally good editorial signed: ' M. Barfield. The Wesleyan goes to press with a few of her poems and a fine short story and, we marvel. Quietly and radiantly, Mus goes about her duties as student and housewife, showing us that there are more capabilities within our own souls than we ever dreamed of. Assistant Society Editor, T.

JANE ATKINSON Macon. Georgia Jane is the personification of the helping hand, always able to forget her own troubles and help others to do away with theirs. She happily possesses the creative touch which is channeled into an interest in everyone she knows and over whom she has the deepest concern. Hers is the shining face which brightens a rainy morning and hers the lilting voice that greets us with laughter in it.

Her life consists of the worst test, the most beautiful day or the best time. Whatever the present mood, it completely captivates her attention. Sometimes, her enthusiasm is centered on a serious vein but, when the blythe spirit descends, she has by far more joy than she can possibly hold, so it bubbles over and is given to all of us.

As her fingers move in intricate patterns on the piano, Jean ' s face radiates the calmness and security of her nature. Behind the scenes—whether for a performer, for stunt, or for a vesper service—we hear the strains of Jean ' s music. We recognize her technical mastery and soft touch. Her sympathetic smile and quiet congeniality are refreshing to all her friends, ' l hough kept busy by her roles as wife, friend, and musician, she remains calm and efficient, with her eyes set upon her chosen path. Jean ' s life is a smooth life—and she has quietly and cheerfully contributed a part of that secret to us.

Georgia The loyal person, says a Chinese proverb, is often overworked. And so it is with Mary E. There is an intensity, a faith, a dream— which rests in her dark eyes. She is both a mystery and an open book. Striving always to live the life she believes in so earnestly, Mary E. leads us to the altar with her faith and to self-knowledge with her soft voice. We shall miss her more than we know. Glee Club 1, 2, 3; T. C.

Georgia With determined blue eyes, a brisk little walk, and a half smile. Betsy has come into our lives like a comet from the depths of space. She flashed across our sky for a moment and then receded into the space from which she came. As she bustled about her classes, there was always a little air of mystery around her . . . as if she knew a secret unique au monde. She seemed to be in a world all her own where lemon drops grow on trees and the rivers flow uphill. She wasn’t with us long enough. Splinter 1; French Club 3, 4; Spanish Club 4. JO ANN COPELAND Winter Haven. Florida No one can perceive so acutely the innermost heart of those around her and keep it so secretive as this low-voiced girl on whom we can depend so much. Her wit delights us, her stately beauty charms us, her infinite calm bewilders us. Jo is a master of restraint and only when we see her teach, work, or quietly knit for an hour are we able to name that nameless quality which she diffuses into the atmosphere about her. Jo is boundless and that is her secret. Junior Marshal; Who ' s Who; Senator 4; Junior Representative to G. C.

Her cheerfulness proves to us daily that life may be lived to its fullest, when a sense of humor is applied to the rough spots. Jane also has another side—a serious one, in which she dis¬ plays determination, a vital interest in others, and silence when silence is golden.

And, after finding time to edit the Town and Country, write for the Wesleyan and go to closses, she still has time for us—laughing, teasing, listening.

She picks up a paint brush and creates with an abandon that is startling, if anyone asked her what she was creating, she couldn ' t say for the world. The most loquacious and least understood child in our clan, her heart worn gaily on her sleeve, she is ever ready to please—working far into the night on stunt backdrops or Homecoming favcrs—casually taking up the fourth hand for bridge—eternally faithful and. of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Near her, we feel the serene strength, the wisdom ol one who knows. Then see the ever ready smile, hear the lilting laugh as she tells the story of her high school babies and the Bermuda shorts or moths, and we know that our Miss Carolyn belongs to all who climb high.

Of all the members of our class, Henri is the best to take a walk with, because there is a deep understanding and wisdom about her, and a streak of contagious fun that makes just being around her something special.

MARY ALICE JACKSON Gainesville. Georgia For those of you who think Lolly is a rather businesslike and efficient young lady a surprise may be in store. Have you ever noticed that devilish twinkle in her blue eyes? The reason for that twinkle can be easily discovered by anyone who has ever eaten at the same dining room table with Lolly. She is Wesleyan’s champion water glass stacker and teaspoon flipper, and she never misses an opportunity to play a joke on her unsuspecting friends. Of course, she has her serious side. There is one Lolly who is an able and conscientious leader, and another who is a merry prankster. We love both of them.

We double with lauqhter over her ironic stories. Who else could have taught a hundred junior high school boys their history and lived to tell about it? Without hesitation, we take her our problems, for Lee is an understanding person. Happiness is her gift—and she distributes it freely—in the lilt of her voice, the lightness of her step and the almost impish tilt of her head.

Suddenly all the sore mus¬ cles and paint-stained fingers seemed worth while. Naturally, it rained, (whoever heard of a Homecom¬ ing without rain?) but it didn ' t mar either the games or the dance, which was reigned over by queen Joel Stovall.

They were similar in the flurry of excitement that proceeded each one as the campus gradually took on a co-ed appearance. The gym changed colors too, and in each case became a festive dance room. The spirit pervaded the dorms as flowers arrived—then the last minute rush, the rustle of crinoline and taffeta, and another dance began. J ANYONE FOR A DREAM?

President It is only natural when a group of people come together to live in a community that they must agree on a code which will guide their living and take into considera¬ tion the general welfare of all concerned. At Wesleyan the College Government Association has as its chief function the guidance of the Wesleyan Family toward respect and upholding of our ideals. Because our government is based on an Honor System the responsibility of ad¬ herence to our laws and ideals falls upon all those who enter Wesleyan. It is ;he sincere hope ot the College Government Association that this mutually shared re¬ sponsibility will aid in developing sound values and mature judgment in those who live under this system, and who go forth from Wesleyan as educated Christian women.

One of the most colorful performances was the Song of Miriam done in Hebrew costumes for the Fine Arts Festival, carrying out this year ' s theme—Religion in the Fine Arts. At the dedication of the new building in March the Glee Club sang, accompanied by the Wesleyan orchestra. Their year was completed by a short tour in the late spring.
