Here we register, sing homecoming songs, part with dates, and line up for graduation. ti e PLACES he College of Liberal Arts, which for nearly a hundred years had occupied the imposing buildings in the heart of the city, has been removed to a new and magni¬ ficent campus adorned with twelve splendid buildings finished in brick and marble in the immediate suburbs of Macon. The coming thou¬ sands of young women who will crowd this beautiful campus and these spacious halls will “carry on” as their sisters of former genera¬ tions have done. Such an institution offers a mighty challenge to women of high purpose. Tomorrow must be better than today.” William F. Quillian, ’28 Since Dr. Quillian’s opening remarks, many women have made their college years here a valuable time of personal development, intel¬ lectual growth, and social maturity. Our private memories of Wesleyan will always be attached to the places we each frequent — the practice rooms, the tennis courts, the library, the labs, the snack bar, the lake. But in every activity, we realize that we are part of the greater com¬ munity — a campus which offers opportunities for self-expression, leadership, and learning. Symbol Of Wesleyan Spirit TraSTl e went through the months of mud ilifl and wet c a y dinging ° our boots as IHMall we met our classes on the new campus — but we were so thankful to be in the beauti¬ ful new buildings and the same Wesleyan spirit came with us.” Elizabeth Blalock ’29 If the Spirit of Wesleyan could ever be limit¬ ed to a particular place, that place would be the fountain. A memorial of Alpha Delta Pi, the campus site has lost its sorority association ex¬ cept for the annual Mercer visit. Now it is the scene of eleven O’clock pep rallies, engage¬ ment celebrations (dunkings), weekend picnics, concerts, and quiet thinking. This year, the fifti¬ eth anniversary pep rally was a big event. Places For Eating And Meeting 1 e ate family style on linen table cloths with a faculty member at the head of each table.” Margaret Garnett Harris, ’30 No other room on campus provides us a chance to meet each other on a regular basis like the Anderson Dining Hall. While we don’t dress formally, meals are still great occasions and the food is good. In the same building, the Hinton Lounge is a more formal meeting place for clubs and events. Showplace For Special Events he Dining Hall opens onto the Mt. Ver¬ non Porch, the most beautiful and fra- gant spot at Wesleyan when the Japa¬ nese Magnolias are in bloom. The porch be¬ comes a stage at Halloween each year as groups of strangely-dressed trick-or-treaters pa¬ rade across to compete for a prize. The Spring Queen is crowned on the porch in April. 7 — Room To Explore And Express TraCIT] he classes were usually small, enabling you to enjoy a close personal relation- ItwHlI ship with the instructors. ” Martha L. Morrison, ’29 In Biology we cut up earthworms, frogs, and unborn pigs — processes accompemied by the unforgettable smell of formaldehyde. ” Marjorie Royal ’30 “Some things never change.” Small classes and formaldehyde still characterize an educa¬ tion at Wesleyan. Fifty years have only brought improved facilities. . i Jt ' y 1 lrl ], r •• a f 1 t ' Xjr v viV V ' A W 2iL V ' v v r ■■ ■■ % «t ,«m. _ Storehouse Of Wesleyan Relics he beautiful little library building was the focal point. 99 Ethel Rogers Townsend, 30 The Candler Alumnae Building, once the Li¬ brary, is an active headquarters for the oldest alumnae chapter in the world. Not only housing the Wesleyan Museum, the building is busy all year with dances in the Oval Hall and programs in the Benson Room. 9 K ifiraff y mTfiT - Space For Activity And Rivalry or gym we wore black bloomers and stockings, and white blouses and ten¬ nis shoes. In gym classes we tumbled, climbed ropes, learned folk dances, marched, swam, played tennis, basketball, soccer, and even a little croquet Marjorie Royal, ’30 Experience In Community Life orm life — nothing can be compared to it. Fifty different freshmen classes have entered Persons each year and left some of their own personality with the building. In the close quarters of Wesleyan’s dorms, we cannot avoid living with our neighbors and shar¬ ing noises, vents, bathrooms, and even “men on the hall.” But to most, the lasting friendships are worth the lost privacy. ttje Times Places are remembered when they are com¬ bined with the right events and the right people. The happenings of each day become past tense in the next, n ever to be re-experienced. Our response to every moment is important, not for memories alone, but for determining what our lives may be in the future. r % 18 in r 4 tm mm FP Ji r X KT m Mill ur todays and yesterdays are the blocks with which we build. Longfellow At every pep rally and formal school gather¬ ing, we close with our Alma Mater, one line of which claims “A star in the dark is thy glorious past.” What is the glory of Wesleyan’s past? The fact that it was the “first college chartered to grant degrees to women” may be part of it, but it is only of minor significance compared to the many outstanding women who have spent a crucial four years here and then continued as leaders after college. They may have worn bloomers, large hats, and middy blouses, en¬ joyed silent movies, written flowery poetry, dated only under the watchful eye of the dean, and been forbidden to play bridge, dance, or smoke, but in spite of all these limitations they have excelled. Wesleyan has changed in many ways since the Rivoli campus welcomed its first class, but the traditional dedication to the col¬ lege shown by students, faculty, and administra¬ tion remains the most important factor of life here. The Wesleyan we enjoy today is a result of the ideals of the past. jii.r IISBII oday, well lived, makes every tomorrow a vision of hope. Sanskrit The traditions we enjoy today are also an inheritance of times past. Our lifestyles now are different from those of fifty years ago — we listen to Billy Joel instead of Johnny Marvin; Jane Fonda is more familiar than Alice White; add-a-beads and jeans have replaced pearls a nd sweater suits. But we still scream at soccer games, act crazy before holidays, and practice hours for thirty-minute stunts; we still enjoy concerts and banquets and inviting guys to cam¬ pus and studying late at night. These more important characteristics of our earlier Wesley¬ an sisters have become part of us, and we share with the girls of the twenties the traditions and sisterhood that make Wesleyan unique. Now we are leaving our own inheritance. Every month we are originating new events that may or may not become part of Wesleyan life, but our successes and failures influence the plans of later students. As individuals and as a student body, our actions and attitudes are linked to tomorrow. The Wesleyan we are creating today is building the ideals of the future. I •■JfS ' U]l M As always, September 1978 was an eventful month at Wesleyan. A new Purple Knight class moved into Persons, Fall Convocation officially began the academic year, and the sophomores gave the freshmen a hard time on a certain day during Extended Orientation. Rivoli Welcomes Fiftieth Class The loggia was a scene of frenzied activity on August 27 when a group of excited freshmen arrived at Wesleyan for the fiftieth time. Their peer counselors were there to greet them and help unpack crowded cars. Loaded down with plants, boxes, and clothes, freshmen and P.C.’s transformed lifeless dorm rooms into homes within a few hours. Orientation activities began immediately, and included several parties and teas given by different organizations, planned getting-acquainted sessions, and the annual Merchants Festival. One goal of the week, get¬ ting the Purple Knight Class together, was ac¬ complished in more ways than one when a gigantic jigsaw puzzle was completed on Wednesday. Another new face on campus was that of Dr. Tom Boyd, Vice-President of Academic Af¬ fairs. Dean Boyd found Wesleyan a different type of college, remarking ' 7 am impressed with the selfless dedication on part of the facul¬ ty and students, doing things they don 9 t have to do. You don ' t see that type of involvement at other schools. I find the students a great joy to be around. 99 Fifty years ago, the Rivoli campus welcomed another new Dean, Dr. Robert Wiggins. He was also impressed by the dedication at Wes¬ leyan. “There is something about Wesleyan that particularly interests me and that is the type of girl here — an extraordinarily fine type of girl, with freshness of interest, wholesome¬ ness of character, co-operative Spirit, desire to help, and loyalty to the college and to fine ideals” 19 Registration Finalizes Fall Schedules Wednesday of the Orientation Week is al¬ ways an exhausting experience of waiting in lines — at registration in the gym when classes are being closed out every minute, at the book¬ store when everyone on campus tries to buy their twenty books at the same time, at tele¬ phone sign-ups in the Rec Room when South¬ ern Bell requires three forms to be filled out for a single phone. But by the end of the day students felt settled in, at least for a semester. For freshmen, Peer Counselors provided en¬ couragement, answers, and support during the “adjustment period.” Thursday was more relaxing with the Mer¬ chants’ Festival during the day and a picnic supper at night providing an opportunity to meet Macon ministers and to sing together by the lake. H wo alumnae remember their feelings on arriving at Wesleyan as freshmen when the Rivoli campus was new: “l arrived by train at the Rivoli Station. It would have been humiliating had my parents driven me to college. ” Dorothy Quiliian Smith; ’32 “I remember well the feeling of awe as the train pulled into Rivol my first year. But then, there were those precious Juniors who met the train and welcomed me with warmth to the new brick buildings. The sidewalks had just been laid and were covered in many places with piles of day; however ; the Sophomores saw to it that we Freshmen corrected that on Sophomore Day” Lillian Pafford Tate; 32 20 Campus Organizations Entertain Freshmen Every fall, new Wesleyan students are kept busy attending the many parties and special events planned for them by different groups on campus. In 1928, social life opened with a Y.W.C.A. prom (manless, of course) and the loggia was transformed into a gypsy camp for the festivities. This year, freshmen were honored at a tea planned by Wesleyan Christian Fellowship to introduce them to WCF activities, invited to an ice cream and swimming party at Dean Schafer’s pool, and entertained by a concert sponsored by B.S.U. One freshman respond¬ ed to the events by remarking, “orientation is not only helpful in getting you acquainted with the school, but it keeps you from be¬ coming homesick.” 21 I Fall Convocation Opens Year The Golden Hearts had their first chance to dress graduation-style on September 5. Fall Convocation was moved back a month earlier than usual at the request of the Faculty Coun¬ cil. Following remarks by Dr. Boyd and Lou Bender, Dr. Strickland gave the address on the concept of higher education. ' oHirfw 1 Hq 1 V “ | ' ll i y? 1 H r CSA Events Fill Anderson Dining Hall “A student shall not be allowed to dance or attend dances in Macon or vicinity. ” 1928 Student Handbook CSA sponsored two different events in the Anderson Dining Hall during the month. One was the Annual Fall Fashion Show, featuring CSA members modeling the latest styles. The other was an entirely new idea — dancing in the Dining Hall! The fall mixer was held in Anderson, and most students agreed that it was the best mixer ever held on campus. Gone were the days of no dancing and no men of fifty years ago. Carolyn Pierson remembers when the rule was “no talking to boys, even if you met your best beau on the street. The highlight of a trip to the Pharm was hoping to get a word or two with a Mercer boy, or at least to flirt a little n 23 . ■ B Third Week Brings Surprises During the week of September 11-16, fresh¬ men had reasons to believe that Fall Convoca¬ tion was not the only October event scheduled earlier this year. The Tri-K’s had to be either rehearsing for a late-night horror thriller or dressing for Halloween. Their conduct was un¬ usual, to say the least. The busiest committees of the sophomore class were concerned with “redecorating” Persons Dorm, “lighting” the fountain area, and “remodeling” Wortham. The Wortham committee was most effective in transforming the dorm for the enjoyment of the PK’s. The freshmen began to realize that they were taking part in a cherished tradition at Wesleyan. iiJ — vi Tri-K’s Give PR’s A Day To Reme mber Events moved toward a climax until one morning freshmen were rudely pulled out of bed to take part in an unusual day of obeying sophomore commands. Wesleyannes have had different reactions to “Rat” over the years, but no one forgets it. Marjorie Royal, 30, re¬ members “having to bow to every sophomore and having to do their bidding, brush their shoes, make their beds, etc., and at night I remember having to go blindfolded through a dark passage way filled with eerie sounds. ' 9 Another alumna writes, “The sophomores had a wonderful time during Rat Week. At their instructions we crawled through numerous pipes lying around the campus. I was ordered to wash the ground floor windows of Tate Hall. 99 The demands have been different, but the final trial has always been included in the activities. Only recently has the Life March be¬ come part of the tradition. 26 Sophomore Day 1928 n excerpt from the Watchtower sug¬ gests that Rat may have been more sophisticated in the past. Freshmen were forced to impersonate Sir Walter Raleigh, and Queen Elizabeth showed up at Rat Court: “Early in the morning, at the unearthly hour of 6:00 A.M., the sophomores made their pres¬ ence known in the freshmen building with loud piercing shouts. Each freshmen immediately arose and donned her pants and golf socks, which she had secured the night before as or¬ dered by the sophs, and allowed herself to be painted a fiery red on one cheek and have an F inscribed on the other. And though the frosh had an idea that there was such a thing as rat court and that Wesleyan sophomores might re¬ sort to such a proceeding, consequently they were not so surprised when they were gathered up in mass by twenty masked figures and car¬ ried to the gymnasium for trial.” mm§ •J® - wrm ' 1 Intercollegiate Team Shows Promise The first volleyball game, played the last week in September, opened a busy schedule for the intercollegiate team. Wesleyan’s volley¬ ball players often found themselves on the road this fall with ten matches away from Macon, including an Invitational Tournament at Colum¬ bus College with the University of North Caroli¬ na, Valdosta State, and North Florida Junior College. At home, the team defeated Mercer of Atlanta and Augusta College. Though the sea¬ son record showed more losses than victories, Wesleyan’s volleyball has steadily improved in the past years. The large number of freshmen on this year’s team promises better records ahead. 28 _ d t .ft •4 M C il it Bw ■I ‘Mystery” Assembly Brings Surprising News When the unexpected assembly was called on September 26, rumors flew from student to student that Wesleyan had come into a large sum of money or that the college was bankrupt. A few observers guessed correctly that Dr. W. Earl Strickland would announce his resigna¬ tion as president after nineteen years in the position. When the Wesleyan community as¬ sembled in Porter, everyone knew immediately that the news was not all good — the trustees on stage were tense and somber. Randolph Thrower, chairman of the Board, read the let¬ ter of resignation and said Dr. Strickland had accepted an offer to teach in the Religion De¬ partment after the arrival of a new president. The final decision had not been easy for Strick¬ land. However, he felt that younger ene rgy was needed for the new fund drive. He is entirely confident of Wesleyan’s future and will contin¬ ue his support. Wesleyan owes much to Earl Strickland. Dur¬ ing his years as president, the college endow¬ ment increased; Hightower, Willet Library, and the Art Building were constructed; the tennis courts were finished; and Tate was renovated. The campus has been modernized with parking spaces, air conditioning, the Snack Bar, and the Rec Room. In addition to these exterior changes, Dr. Strickland has improved every major department. Even students who do not realize the material and educational contribu¬ tions of Dr. Strickland know him as a concerned and interested administrator. His warm person¬ ality and quiet spirit are part of Wesleyan’s secure and progressive environment. 29 Add An “S” — Soccer! “A player cannot keep fit if she is eating between meals, eating sweets, and going with - out the proper amount of sleep. “That which is not worth training for, is not worth attaining” Watchtower, Oct. 1927. Though soccer fans did not have the dedica¬ tion to give up sweets during the training, prac¬ tice sessions in early October were rigorous as students wound up for the biggest sport of the year. In the beginning games, the Green Knights led the Golden Hearts in spite of bionic goalie, LuAlice Waite. The Purple Knights played hard, but lack of experience hampered the new team when in competition with the tougher red, green, and gold soccer veterans. 1 Faculty Members Enlighten Students October began with Honor Week, sponsored by CJA to emphasize the significance of Wes¬ leyan ' s Honor Code. On October 3, Ruth White Fruit, class of 1954, spoke on the hon¬ ors system and the effect it has had on her values: “1 still live my life by it and have raised my children to do the same. I instill in my students the satisfaction of knowing you have to live with yourself , so why not like the com- pany?” Students held a debate on Honor Code vio¬ lations Thursday in the Hinton Lounge with Dr. Kayron McMinn as moderator. One of the most entertaining shows of the fall was the College Bowl sponsored by Beta Beta Beta and Mortar Board to provide money for their annual service projects. Students watched as faculty engaged in fierce competition for free ice cream and a winning score. Tom Boyd, Carol Thurman, Bill Prince, and Jerrell Lopp edged by the other team composed of Earl Bargalnnler, Frank James, Beverly Mitchell, and Kayron McMinn. The most valu¬ able contributors were Dr. James, Dr. Prince, and Dr. Bargainnier, who were not only familiar with their subject areas but a wide range of trivia information. However, no one could name the twelve disciples and the seven dwarfs. Sarah Johnston with her razor was only one of the students who performed com¬ mercial breaks for the audience. Hot Dogs And Marshmellows To celebrate the end of Rat and make up for the catastrophe of the first Big Sister-Little Sis¬ ter party, the Green Knights gave the Purple Knights a real bash at the cabin on October 10 with music, hot dogs, and roasted marshmel¬ lows. This time there were no interruptions and the PK ’s felt like full-fledged little sisters. 32 mtaamrn Trudi And Minstrel Escape Weissbart Wesleyan students, under the directorship of George McKinney, presented the annual chil¬ dren’s play the first week in October. The play was a “neo-gothic extravaganza” complete with a castle, a dragon, trolls, a mermaid, gyp¬ sies, and a wicked baronness. In spite of evil forces against them, Trudi and Siegfried were able to get together with the minstrel’s help. Siegfried’s hateful mother was defeated, good triumphed, and everyone was ready to live hap¬ pily ever after. As usual in Wesleyan produc¬ tions, acting, make-up, backdrops, props, and costumes were outstanding. Margie Green, a freshman, and Cariene Brown, a transfer stu¬ dent, firmly established themselves as perform¬ ers. — I- Daddies Learn To Wesleyan’s first big weekend this year brought fathers to the campus to square dance, waltz, play softball, and picnic with their daugh¬ ters. On Friday night, Dads took their “dates” out for dinner, then came back for the square dance in Candler. Saturday was a full day, in- “Rock An’ Roll” eluding volleyball, softball, a lake cook-out, and a more formal dance. An added bonus this year was disco lessons for fathers, most of whom were willing to try the newest moves already familiar to their daughters. Disco Fever Sweeps Wesleyan The late seventies may be remembered for many things, and disco dancing will be one. People are discovering that difficult steps can be fun! A party sponsored by CSA gave Wes- leyannes a chance to practice the latest “in thing” as sophomore Cathy Fogle demon¬ strated basic steps. The party celebrated the new stereo system given to the rec room. Girls tried an old Wesleyan trick and danced with each other for practice. � i - D%4MHif -;i rvtm-nu Rivoli Campus Celebrates Golden Anniversary, ' Everyone connected with the Wesleyan Community celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the college in this location on October 25. Even the seniors had never seen such a big party on campus. Offices closed and classes were cancelled so that faculty members, stu¬ dents, and alumnae could enjoy the day. Excite¬ ment began when a 1928 replica of the first steam locomotive rolled down the tracks across from Wesleyan, filled with students decked out in 1920s fashions. Faculty members acted as conductors as other students rode the train during the next two hours. At 5:00, the entire crowd gathered around the fountain for a song- fest, with class songs, special anniversary songs written by dorm committees, alumnae songs of past years, and the permanent favorite, Wes¬ leyan’s Alma Mater. The party ended with a special dinner for seniors and trustees in Ander¬ son Dining Hall. The day was a unique success at getting the whole college together for a com¬ mon purpose. As one student remarked after it was over, “We should all get together more often like this.” The anniversary festivities, planned and carried out by the Alumna Associ¬ ation, made many students more aware of Wes¬ leyan’s special traditions and singularity among colleges. The college has passed another land¬ mark in her history, and as Dr. Quillian said at the 1928 opening ceremonies, “Wesleyan now stands and faces promising years.” t 1A ifnitr 36 37 llHUfijA Among Wesleyan’s great variety of tradition¬ al celebrations, Halloween is a favorite for many, especially those who enjoy going incog¬ nito. Each year, creativity in costumes reaches new extremes — a box of crayons, a keyboard, a six-pack. 1978 was no exception. First prize went to a group of fruity Tri-Ks who came as “Fruit of the Loom” underwear. Dolly Parton, the Marx brothers, Wonder Woman, and Mick¬ ey Mouse were all present to eat barbecued chicken and candied apples with an assortment of cats, ghosts, hobos, and witches. Some of these witches were Seniors chosen by SRC to raid dorms on Hallow’s Eve and cast spells on teachers so that they dismiss classes. Holding bags loaded with candy and guns loaded with water, the witches entertained at the banquet and joined the Washboard Band in song and dance. Other Halloween winners included Dr. Carl Tenpas as the Mortar Board’s ugliest face and the Tri-K pumpkin as the Wesleyan Bomb. The seniors’ horror house, “Halls of the Screaming Dead,’’ which opened to the public October 27 and 28, was a new Halloween at¬ traction, adding three hundred dollars to the class treasury. Halloween Tricks Are A Treat For Everyone m The production of a famous play by well- known performers, the presentation of the soc¬ cer cup to the Golden Hearts, and the prepara¬ tion of Cornish hens for Thanks giving contribut¬ ed to the special significance of this year’s No¬ vember traditions. Shakespeare Lives On To Tame The Shrew Shakespeare’s famous comedy “The Taming of the Shrew” was performed at Wesleyan by the Alabama Shakespeare Festival Company on November 6. The production was made possible by a grant from the National Endow¬ ment of the Arts and was sponsored by The Programs and Exhibitions Committee. During their stay on campus, members of the Com¬ pany presented a series of work shops, includ¬ ing Pupperty, Fencing, and Stage Combat. Numbers of students from local high schools came to Wesleyan for these, and even more Maconites joined Wesleyan for the play that night. The experienced players put on a show of the highest quality. Shakespeare’s play un¬ folded on stage with as much audience laughter and enjoyment as the famous man received four hundred years ago. HI esleyan did play an important role in the cultural life of Macon — its Music 111® Department was exceptional as were i the Speech and Drama Departments. Wesleyan not only provided a talented faculty for the community but brought in an Artist Series that was open to the public. Martha Lamar Morrison, 29 Happy Feet Routine Warms Up Players ' Class spirit ran high at the soccer games .” Marjorie Royal, ’30 Soccer season stretched into November, and excitement increased as championship time came closer. Enthusiastic players limbered up with “happy feet” routines before each game. But when the games began, every team mem¬ ber went into position with the usual serious attitude toward soccer Wesleyannes have al¬ ways shared. After two years of championship ties and one year of sharing the cup with the PK’s, Golden Hearts were anxious to end the season on top. When the GK’s lost their early lead to the Golden Hearts and Tri-K’s, sister classes prepared to play each other on Home¬ coming Day. 42 “You would think that Wesleyan was the only place on earth soccer is played and that it was a Wesleyanne who invented the game.” Melinda Fralser Soccer Standings Golden Hearts 5-1-1 Tri-K Pirates 3-3-1 Green Knights 2-3-2 Purple Knights 1-4-2 “Crimson Tide” Takes Color Rush Color Rush is a newer addition to Homecom¬ ing traditions, with beginnings in the early six¬ ties. The event grew out of years of decorating the “Pharm,” Rivoli’s drugstore; the Dining Hall; and the campus in class colors for the Homecoming Banquet, then at Thanksgiving. This year, the freshmen and sophomore classes began working early, hoping to cover the soc¬ cer field in purple or red, while the older classes showed less interest. The PK’s were working at a disadvantage (unfortunately, purple is not a popular color), increased by the new restric¬ tions in Color Rush rules brought about by the past seniors’ trick of using material bolts. With the hard work of a few class members, red paint, and boxes, the Tri-K’s became proud winners of Color Rush 1978.

Cheers ring out on the high - Watchtower, November, 1928 44 PK’s Are “Still Crazy After All” On Homecoming Day Homecoming activities continued Friday night with a Disco Dance in the Anderson Din¬ ing Hall. Saturday morning brought the Purple Knights of 1978 back to campus as the big games began. For the first time in several years, the weather was warm and sunny. Cheer¬ leaders in class colors led the stands in class songs, and the freshmen continued the PK tra¬ dition of a half-time “marching band.” Soccer championships have been big events since 1925, with basketball preceding soccer by fifteen years. Until the early fifties, the games took place at Thanksgiving, and everyone stayed on campus. One alumna of the class of ’31 remembers that, “Homecoming was at Thanksgiving — soccer, a thrilling Thanksgiv¬ ing service and wonderful dinner with the ex¬ citement of seeing the most recent graduates back again. ” The banquet following the games was much the same, with classes singing “love songs” to each other. How Old Is The PK Marching o , 0 i« Band? ' i ne year my class even staged a parade with a makeshift band, Dressed in white pants, white berets, white shirts and wide lavender belts we strutted proudly and stole the show. ” Marjorie Royal, ’30 45 “Thanksgiving was a big day, sports wise. The soccer field was not ready our first year at Rivoli, so we had a basketball game in the morning and a banquet with formal dress and toasts (speeches) later. The next year soccer was again in its glory. Townspeople came out to watch the Thanksgiving game. Wesleyan was fifty years ahead of its time in soccer!” Margaret Garnett Harris ’30 “Looks As If We’re Doing Something Right” The words of the Homecoming Theme Song, “Better Days” were certainly true for the Gold¬ en Hearts on November 11, 1978. The seniors came out for their fourth consecutive cham¬ pionship appearance with something to prove. After a loss to the GK’s in ’75, a shared (purple and gold) Soccer Cup in ’76, and another tie with the PK’s in 77, the Golden Hearts were determined to make the cup all their own. The game was essentially over after the first quar¬ ter, when Center Robbie Edge scored two quick goals, and Tri-K’s lost some of their confi¬ dence. They never gave up, but the seniors held onto their lead and the sophomores never scored. Joyful Golden Hearts cheered and cried. The Soccer Cup was Gold! The consola¬ tion game between the two Knight classes end¬ ed in a scoreless tie.

The crowd of Wesleyannes and their dates waited expectantly as Dr. Strickland walked around the circle of representatives and finally placed the crown on Bobbi Watkins. Bobbi was an exchange student at ICU in Japan her junior year, but she returned to serve as an RA in Persons and, to her surprise, “reign” as Homecoming Queen. The Queen and her Court were presented at the Homecoming Dance Saturday night in the Monument Room of the Macon Coliseum. ■ 1 si I “To Be Continued” The play presented Homecoming Weekend by the Theatre Department dramatized a hus¬ band, wife, and mistress caught in a love trian¬ gle. For years, Claude Franklin (Ed Fitzgerald) has spent his weekends with his wife and his weekdays with another woman. When the two women meet, they become friends, and the play’s ending suggests that Claude’s living ar¬ rangements will remain the same. Susan Schuler, Sylvia Shirah, other Wesleyan the¬ atre students, Mike McKinney, and Fitzgerald all handled their roles well. 48 S mm Covenant Players Offer Workshop Four members of the world’s largest travel¬ ing drama company directed and entertained students at their acting workshop and perfor¬ mance on November 14. The CRC-sponsored group presented several one-act plays dealing with faith and the search for ultimate truth. TOSST] esleyan students in 1979 can not imag- fnjj ine giving up their Thanksgiving holi- days, but fifty years ago everyone did. The day of the big games was the most exciting day on campus. The banquet we now celebrate a week early is a tradition of those years. Alum¬ nae still remember the food: “The dinner was sumptuous with ice cream pumpkins and tur¬ keys for desert , ” reports Dorothy Qulllian Smith, and Martha Lamar Morrison writes, “The finale of the dinner was the entrance of all the waiters at the same time bearing platters of flaming plum pudding. I can ' t figure how they flamed them without brandy. ” Students gave toasts to the Mayflower, the Pilgrims, and to Plymouth Rock. This year, the menu featured Rock Cornish game hens and pumpkin pie. Morning Star, a singing group made up of WCF members, en¬ tertained students and faculty after dinner. John Ed Matheson, a Methodist minister from Birmingham, was guest speaker. The pro¬ gram was planned by Wesleyan Campus Minis¬ tries.

With them, doors carry all sorts of messages of encouragement, infor¬ mation, and desperation. Some boards stay un¬ der perpetual CLOSED STUDY; others are always covered with names and numbers. Laur¬ etta Elliott often uses memo boards on second floor Banks to express her artistic leanings. Around Christmas and finals, doors become more interesting. Many people display their cards and decorations in addition to the board. Especially appreciated are those boarders who scribble their doors with amusing and optimistic notes of good cheer, reminding hall wanderers that there is hope in Chr istmas and that every¬ thing does pass. Renaissance Gives Entertaining Study Break For those who could break away from pa¬ pers and books long enough, the contemporary Christian concert group sponsored by CRC on December 13 offered an exciting diversion. With brass, keyboard, and guitars, the talented musicians of Renaissance clearly expressed their message of Christ’s love. Their use of puppets added to their highly professional show. Long Practice Leads To Annual Music at Christmas time is always special, whether it is the classical beauty of a piece like “Ave Maria” or the simple melodies of tradi¬ tional carols. Each fall, members of Wes¬ leyan’s Glee Club and the Wesleyannes work hard to prepare a program of songs that convey the spirit of Christmas. Their concert is performed at the beginning of December. This year, numbers included a “Christmas Concer¬ to,” “Missa Brevis in D,” and everyone’s favor¬ ite, “Fruitcake.” Carols and lighted candles have been at Wes¬ leyan a long time. In 1928, Y.W.C.A. members walked down dormitory halls carrying candles and singing beautiful Christmas songs, as one alumna remembers: “Early in the morning of the day we were to go home for the holidays , we were awakened by caroling that sounded to me like a heavenly choir. ” Christmas Concert Mr Christmas Traditions Center Around Banquet for desert, and an appearance from Santa Claus himself. This year, Lou Bender, SGA president, read The Littlest Angel to the crowd gathered in the parlor. After Dr. Strickland placed the angel on top of the beautiful pine, organization presidents and freshmen complet¬ ed the decorating. TE5STT1 esleyan’s Christmas Banquet, followed ItJ by the decoration of a large tree in the IBfflll Burden Parlor, a concert by the Wes- leyannes, and the reading of a Christmas story, is one of the most memorable occasions of the year. Sponsored by CSA, the banquet always features a turkey at every table, baked Alaska If you are one of the many Wesleyan stu¬ dents who complain about their weight, chances are that Willie, Robert, and Eddie Hollingsworth are partly to blame. Dinners like the Christmas Banquet would not be possible without Wesleyan’s cooks. Much difficult prep¬ aration goes into cooking seventy-five turkeys for one meal, not to mention flaming the same number of baked Alaskas! But the banquet is only one meal out of about 650 that these men cook, and students rarely complain about meals. Eddie, Wesleyan’s production manager, received an SGA Service Award this year. December Closes With Celebration At End Of Finals After a semester of hard academic work, nothing matches the feeling of relief a student enjoys after finals are over. Study breaks pro¬ vided by ARA during the last week helped relieve the pressure and the Snack Bar was rowdier than ever. Excitement before holidays is a timeless emotion. Fifty years ago Wesleyan girls sang at meals, “Three more days till vaca¬ tion, Then we ’ll go to the station Back to civili¬ zation, The train will carry us there. ’’ Several alumnae remember a trick they pulled in ’28: “As Freshmen we were so excited over Christ¬ mas holidays we wanted to celebrate in a spe¬ cial way. We took alarm clocks to our class meeting the night before, synchronized them, and set them for 2 A.M. When they went off, we got up, slammed our doors three times, and gave an Indian war whoop. Needless to say, as class president, I was called to Miss Wendell’s office.” Frances Knott Smith 32 In January, Wesleyan students had many op¬ portunities for personal growth. The month fea¬ tured Religious Emphasis Week speaker Dave Moore, Lamar Lecturer Dr. T. Harry Willliams, and very special guests who came for Mother- Daughter Weekend. January Offers Variety Of Events Students returned to campus on January 8, 1979, to begin a new semester. A few years ago, January was a relaxing month of one- course loads and many special events. Now, it is a crowded month of Ve-course loads and many special events. The Wesleyan year began with Religious Emphasis Week, a Gerre Han¬ cock Recital, and an Art Exhibit. The next week brought the Lamar Lecture Series, with noted historian and Pulitzer-prize winning author Dr. T. Harry Williams as speaker. Dr. Williams delivered three lectures on Civil War topics, dealing with reasons for the continued interest in the period, and the complex lives of Lee and Lincoln. Concerning his opinion on the relevan¬ cy of history, Williams remarked, “It tells us where we are on the time line, and that what happens to us is not new or unique.” He is currently writing a history of the United States wars for the general reader. The SRC ski trip and basketball team elec¬ tions closed out the second week in January, with games beginning the next week. On Janu¬ ary 23, Wesleyan sponsored “The Great De¬ bate: Is there Sexism in the Bible?”, featuring several Macon ministers and Inter-Varsity staff worker Sue Lewis as debaters. Though nei¬ ther side “won” the argument, the program sparked interesting discussion. The next weekend brought mothers to cam¬ pus for a new CSA event, and sent Glee Club members to Jekyll Island. On Monday, January 29, a chorus from Wesleyan’s sister college in Taiwan, Tapel Municipal Teachers College for Women, presented a program including singing, folk dancing, and art exhibitions. 55 What Is “Living Christianity”? The Religious Emphasis Week observed January 8 13 was sponsored by CRC with spe¬ cial programs planned by Wesleyan Christian Fellowship and the Baptist Student Union. The topic, “Living Christianity,” was broad enough to include any emphasis, but the activities of the week stressed the importance of disciple- ship and the implications of being a follower of Jesus Christ today. Dave Moore, Area Direc¬ tor of Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, was main speaker. He used John 6 as the spring¬ board for his discussion of how Christ related effectively to his own culture, and how believ¬ ers today can do the same. An intense informal session with Moore gave students a chance to express their own ideas. Each day after lunch, students led “mini-seminars” sponsored by WCF on the practical aspects of being a Chris¬ tian student. Thursday night BSU presented a short film allegorizing the life of Christ. Religious Emphasis Week is a new version of the “Religious Activities Week” held in the 1920’s. Then the campus had annual revival services. In 1928, Dr. Arthur Moore spoke on the Christ-like life and alumnae still remember his impressive messages. College Sees Changes In Religious Influences I he establishment of Georgia Female College in 1836 was partly the result of an interdenominational religious revival that stirred citizens of the area to begin a col¬ lege for women as an act of faith. From the beginning, religious influences at Wesleyan were strong. When the new campus was built, Dr. Qulllian saw the venture as a spiritual challenge: “By the grace of the same God who led the children of Israel and who guided the destinies of this beloved college , we shall qo forward. ” In 1929, church attendance and daily chapel attendance were mandatory, though students had many creative excuses for missing both occasionally. The last twenty years have brought drastic changes in religious life on cam¬ pus. Now those who come to programs spon¬ sored by CRC, WCF, and Wesleyan Campus Ministries come voluntarily, and though the numbers may be smaller, the Christian pro¬ grams given by and for Wesleyan students still deal with knowing and loving God on a mature i_i 56 I Talented Composer Challenges Group With Late Concert Ken Medema, well-known in contemporary Christian music, was scheduled to appear in the Rec Room January 12 at 7:30 P.M. The crowd was ready, but Medema was still in Atlanta as a result of flight problems. A group of students from Brewton-Parker who had come down for the performance entertained the audience until Medema’s arrival. When the concert did begin at 9:30, it proved to be worth the wait. Mede- ma’s songs and comments concerned the weak¬ ness of the church in meeting the needs of modern society. wmm 4 t was strictly against the rules to “cut” church and vespers but I was guilty of doing both. Many times I would get under the bed when I heard the monitor open¬ ing and closing doors. I think she always hoped she ' d catch no one because she never looked under the bed.” Marjorie Royal 30 57 Hopeful Skiers Find Unexpected Adventure s I The forty students who left Wesleyan on January 19 bound for Seven Devils Ski Re¬ sort in North Carolina to spend an exciting weekend racing down snowy slopes were not out of Georgia before their problems began. Pulled over for riding in an “illegal” bus not certified to go out of state, the group waited for two hours before continuing the trip. After an¬ other long delay at the foot of Seven Devils Mountain, tired riders finally arrived at the lodge at one-thirty A.M. The next two days were filled with story-telling, eating, card-play¬ ing, and relaxing, but no skiing. Not one genu¬ ine snowflake fell, though a few students skied on the synthetic slopes. Everyone had a good time anyway, expecially when they realized they would be refunded most of the cost of the trip. 58 he new Wesleyan campus presented a gay scene Saturday when 177 Atlanta high school girls inspected the grounds and buildings on an all-day visit. Met at the college station by a delegation of the student body, the girls were greeted as they stepped off the train by songs and cheers. ” The Watchtower, November, 28 Visiting Students Get Taste Of Wesleyan Life The third weekend in January brought fifty high school seniors to Wesleyan for Wesleyan Scholar Weekend. The Student Recruitment Team and the admissions staff hosted the pro¬ spective students, giving campus tours and in¬ troducing them to faculty members. On Thurs¬ day night, Mortar Board members introduced them to many aspects of Wesleyan life through informal speeches. The visitors also enjoyed videotapes of Stunt, singing by the Washboard Band, and one of Wesleyan’s classic ice cream sundae parties. 59 Basketball Still No. 1 Winter Sport Basketball season began with a rules session and team elections on January 14. All four teams were small in number (the Green Knights had only six players eligible), but full of spirit. The Golden Hearts were out to retire the bas¬ ketball cup after three perfect records, but the Tri-K’s made it a hard battle from the first game, which they won over their sister class 43- 3 . The freshmen Purple Knights complicated the situation by winning game after game, but not defeating the GH’s. At the end of January, the freshmen and seniors were tied for the lead, with each team standing 3-1. GH Robbie Edge, Tri-K Nanette Shaw, PK Lori Anglin, and GK Mindy Frasier were the highest scorers. I mi 4 A- V m rA 5 t i ' ? V jV ; JJpSTTI o, I can t eat candy and you know it, n ' l a girl was heard to say the other after • EaHU noon, and immediately it was evident that she played basketball. Oh, the trials and Final Basketball Standings temptations of a girl in training! The Waichtower, November, 1928 Seniors Dress For Success On Career Day On January 31, representatives from over forty companies, agencies, and school boards came to Wesleyan to interview prospective em¬ ployees. Delta and Eastern Air Lines, Southern Bell, and the FBI were among the most popular employers with the seniors, but representatives of Bibb County Schools, Georgia Power, and business firms were also busy. The Business Club and the placement office sponsored sever¬ al programs before the big event to prepare job hunters for their interviews. Many of the sen¬ iors came away from their appointments more hopeful of finding a job in their area of interest. The Council of Social Activities and the Par¬ ents of Wesleyan joined in planning events for a first Mother-Daughter Weekend, January 26-28. Activities began Friday night with a mov¬ ie and a card party in the Rec Room. Saturday morning three busloads of Wesleyan mothers and daughters toured the Hay House, the Cannonball House, and the Sidney Lanier Cottage, stopping at Beall’s 1860 for lunch. A banquet Saturday night was followed by a CSA fashion show which showed mothers how a Wesleyan student dresses every day. Evidence from 1929 suggests that the fash¬ ion show and card party of Mother-Daughter Weekend would have been different then, as the quotes on this page indicate.

To the delight of Wesleyan stu¬ dents, one ' of the low days brought snow. The month also featured a drama, The Aspern BSU Members Rock For Missions On Friday and Saturday, February 2-3, Bap¬ tist Student Union members had their annual Rock-A-Thon to raise money for summer mis¬ sionaries who are sponsored by BSU chapters and sent all over the world to share their faith. While the girls rocked, Dr. Jacob Quiambao shared some of his memories of World War II, a singing group from Georgia College performed, Carey Cannon led an arts and crafts time, and each girl took part in informal Bible discussions. President Debbie Peacock and Cathy Mickler rocked the entire 24 hours. BSU enjoyed an active year on campus, moving their meeting place to the Mural Room and choosing Bud Paine as their campus advi¬ sor. The members have done services on and off campus to contribute to their missions fund. History Repeats Itself In Freshman Basketball Victory ' n February 10, 1979, the Golden Hearts hopes of retiring the basketball cup after holding it for three years were defeated when the Purple Knights won the championship game 36-27. The exciting game followed the GK — Tri-K consolation game, which the sophomores won 36-30. The following interesting excerpt from the 1929 Veterropt proves that history does re¬ peat itself: “The freshman six stepped to the basketball championship of Wesleyan College last night when they easily defeated the Senior squad with a score of 26-12. At the close of the game, Miss Ernestine Grote, head of the phys¬ ical education department, presented to their captain, Margaret Lawrence of Savannah, the athletic trophy which has been in the hands of the Seniors for the past year. This was the first game in which the Seniors had met defeat The frosh team as a whole has put up superior pass work and team cooperation during the entire season. From the standpoint of basket¬ ball technique they were due the basketball championship. ” j ' :: j ( S’ s I Drama Students Act In February Play Midwinter’s Weekend, held February 9-11, featured other entertainments in addition to basketball. Wesleyan’s Theatre Department scheduled a performance of “The Aspern Play¬ ers” for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. This comedy, based on a story by Henry James, was adapted for theatre by Michael Redgrave. It concerned a writer, H.J (Ed Fitz¬ gerald), who was searching for the papers of a poet, Mr. Aspern. He discovered the papers in a house belonging to Miss Juliana, Aspern s former lover, who died when she knew the letters had been found. Juliana’s niece, Tina, finally burned the papers and ended H.J.’s re¬ search. The play featured Myrna Nolla, Beth Seibert, Ellen Fiebel, and Cariene Brown. MidWinter ' s Music Ranges From “The Beatles 99 to Country Other events of Midwinter ' s Weekend included the Naiads’ Show on February 8 and 9, a country dance with Menagerie Fri¬ day night, a “Mardi Gras” buffet dinner on Saturday night, a formal dance featuring Riv¬ er Street, and a Fred Astaire movie Sunday afternoon. The Naiads’ synchronized swim¬ ming show was entitled “With Love From Me to You” and featured music of the Beatles. Numbers included “All My Loving,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” Both dances were held in the Monument Room of the Macon Coliseum, but the couples who showed up in overalls and jeans Friday night arrived the next night in full dress attire. CSA members organized and carried out the entire weekend with their usual finesse for throwing good parties. The Early Days of Jazz he jazz sound that influenced the music of the Saturday night band, River Street, was very popular on campus in the late twenties. In fall, 1928, the entire stu¬ dent body took a train from Rivoli to Macon to hear Paul Whiteman, the “king of jazz,” at the auditorium. A Watchtower editorial com¬ plained about students who played jazz on their victrolas at five in the morning, and a later article dealt with the effects of jazz: u Today there are two kinds of music. That which is jazz and that which is not jazz. In the jazz we have gone back to the savage. There is something stimulating in the wild beat of the drum, in the whine of the saxophone. We feel our spirits rise and our blood run fast. But this feeling is only temporary. There is nothing to be gained from syncopated music. ” Marjorie Royal remembers that “A num¬ ber of the girls owned victrolas, and whenever I felt that pulsating beat (I could feel it better than I could hear it) I’d seek out the source and join in the dancing — girls only, of course.” Floridians Enjoy Winter Snow Sports An unexpected snowfall on Sunday morning, February 18. gave Florida girls the experience they had hoped for all winter, and hardened north Georgia folks enjoyed their excitement. The ice-coated snow blanketed Wesleyan’s campus and formed an ideal surface for sled¬ ding. On pizza trays provided by the snack bar, bundled-up students coasted down the hill be¬ side Wortham all day. Others took part in snowball fights. As a final thrill, the snow kept classes from meeting on Monday and gave Stunt participants a day to catch up before beginning two weeks of practices. With the cooks stranded away from campus, Scott and his wife kept everyone fed by cooking all the meals during the two-day freeze. Black Student Alliance Sponsors Speakers And Show During the month, Wesleyan’s BSA brought two interesting speakers to campus and also presented a fashion show. On February 13, Ms. Willie Mae Smith, a poet, presented a program in the Benson Room. Two weeks later one of Wesleyan’s first black graduates, Chris¬ tine Everett, spoke about her life on campus from 1968 to 1972. Her fascinating narration of personal experiences pointed out the pro¬ gress that has been made toward racial equa¬ lity. The fashion show sponsored on February 25 featured several BSA members modeling fash¬ ions from Kiralfy-Goldman’s and the Shoe Shack. Each year, Wesleyan’s Art Department presents several art exhibits for the benefit of students and the Macon community. 1978 ex¬ hibits included “The Paintings of Preston Doyle” and “Prints, Paintings of and Photo¬ graphs by Roger Bowman” in September; “Mo¬ dels of Inventions of Leonardo da Vinci” in October; and “Joan Stabler’s Paintings and Drawings” in November. 1979 brought “Fiberr- A Mythical Engagement” by Polly Harrison in January; a juried Student Art Show in Febru¬ ary, and the Senior Art Show in April. The student exhibit in February included ce¬ ramics, paintings, drawings, and sculpture judged by art professors Joel Plum, Libby Bailey, and Roger Bowman and students Sharon Gedrottis, Nancy Lampe, Elaine Odom, and Cindy McKenzie. The Art Club supervised the sale of some of the pieces. February Art Show Only One Of Many In East Gallery v 69 The excitement of March is always dominat¬ ed by Stunt Night, coinciding with Parents Weekend as Wesleyan’s greatest annual event The Atlanta Ballet brought another thrilling performance to Porter. Outstanding artists from several different fields also visited campus during the month. Chairperson; Jeanne N Elizabeth O feorn, St Parents Come To Campus For Annual Stunt Weekend The Stunts presented by each of the four classes March 2-3 were the climax of many hours of hard work and excitement. Vigorous rehearsals were held every night for two weeks as Stunt Committee members tried to help their classmates visualize the parts that had devel¬ oped in months of meetings. Directors strug¬ gled with the problems involved in making scripts come alive on stage. The Stunt execu¬ tives Kay Appling, Liz Osborne, and Jeanne Norton managed ticket sales, planned paint and practice schedules, and coordianted the activities of each class to make Stunt run smoothly. Participants practiced dance steps and song lyrics in their rooms and even in the halls as the final performance neared. There was less emphasis on secrecy among classes than in past years, and a greater emphasis on entertainment than winning. By Friday, the classes were ready for the general public. Students enjoyed a cookout din¬ ner around the fountain before getting into makeup and costumes to perform for a large and responsive Macon audience. Parents ar¬ rived on campus Saturday and took part in several planned activities. At 8:00 P.M. Porter was filled to capacity and charged with excite¬ ment. Representing a wide variety of themes, settings and costumes, the four Stunts reflected the creativity and diligence of writers and per¬ formers. While the judges faced the hard task of choosing :he best Stunt, the Wesleyannes sang for the waiting crowd and Stunt Scholar¬ ship winner were announced by CRC Presi¬ dent Natalie Anderson. The Great Divide, Or Keep Your Junk And Half It Too The Purple Knights could easily be accused of having “junky” props for their production, which was set in a dump. Creating all that junk took alot of time and hard work, but bringing it to life was the freshmen’s greatest challenge. Within two weeks, the PK’s had cans and cray¬ ons dancing acorss the stage in perfect synchro¬ nization. The problem in the junkyard was a result of an argument between the two owners, Sonny Slimstick and Tony Hindenburg. Each piece of junk in the yard split into two halves and divid¬ ed on the issue. Junkyard customers could not find anything in working order and left in dis¬ gust. When business slowed down, Sonny and Tony were finally forced to realize that a whole piece of junk is better than a part, and that they could only get ahead by working together. Ap¬ plying the lesson of their script, the Purple Knights found that it took their whole class to put together a good Stunt. ;s! ::: :: tunt Night was already thirty-two years old in 1929, but as a Watchtower of that year points out, the event had only been open to the public since 1924. Before that time, the stunts were held for a small audience of faculty and students, always for the same purpose of endowing scholarship funds. The 1929 article continues: “Since 1924, stunt night has steadily increased in popularity until now it is considered one of the outstanding events of the year. This is always the occasion for small groups gathering, whispers and gig¬ gles filling the atmosphere, worried girls run¬ ning to and fro and confident ones smiling knowingly. The decision of the judges is always awaited with breathless anticipation.” The stunts were sponsored by Y.W.C.A. and were performed in October. They were written by only one person, and though they may have been simpler than recent productions, alumnae remember many hours of practice. The ’29 stunts covered a variety of topics — pirates, politics, and a pilot with “a girl in every town.” The sophomores won by personifying a seven- page newspaper(!) ; ' Things Are Not What They Seem In Three-Ring Circus The sophomore Stunt was unique in its down-to-earth realism — to set the atmo¬ sphere, class members actually cooked hotdogs before going on stage Saturday night so that Porter would smell like a circus. Balloons rose from the pit as the Stunt began in front of a Big Top backdrop, and all kinds of circus charac¬ ters entered the auditorium from the back. The Tri-K’s had the most colorful Stunt of all, in¬ volving more different types of characters than any other class. The plot revolved around the problems the circus people faced when the land they had always camped on freely suddenly became very expensive. The new owner, Es¬ ther Sruffdapper, demanded a large rental fee which the performers did not have. When mon¬ ey showed up from an unknown source, every¬ one questioned the identity of the benefactor. In the end, the least likely candidate became the hero, and Don, the he-man, was found to be a crook. ommittee — Crystal Bell, Lind! Lemas- , ters, Slsse Ripley, Jan Hob¬ son, Melinda Fralser, Helen Anne Richards Juniors Hope To Hell To Get There And Back Again Creating unusual settings for their lively Stunts has always been the Green Knights’ spe¬ cial talent, and this year the committee came up with the strangest scenery yet. The action be¬ gan with a plane crash, and at first, the audi¬ ence was as confused as the cast about the location of the downed plane. Then the mean¬ ing of the orange and yellow glow surrounding them seemed to become clear. Where could they be but that ungodly place — Hell! A few crash victims gave up hope when they knew where they were, but under the direction of an inspirational gospel preacher and his angel sing¬ ers, several stranded travelers attempted to work their way out. However, every effort proved useless, and Lou C. Furr refused to offer any help. Just as all hope was gone, the reluctant devils found that the Hell they were in was only a movie set. Their plane had crashed in Hollywood, U.S.A. 76 77 Top-Ranking Army Mooooves To Gold Cup GH Stunt Committee — Anne Berry, Roxanne Shearer, Beth Seibert, Sarah Johnston, Katherine Breland, Lee Lee Seabrook In their four years at Wesleyan, the Golden Heart class has produced four very different Stunts, but their last one proved to be the best, winning for them both the Stunt and Spirit Cups. Perhaps more important, it was the most fun and the most entertaining for the class. The seniors did not seem at all tired or old on stage. Instead, their songs and dances were charged with energy. When practices first began, the loud stomp- ping of the marching troops on stage aroused the curiosity of other classes. Little did they realize that a new platoon was in a vigorous two-week training period. However, the sol¬ diers did not mind the drilling nearly as much as the food in camp, which was unbearable. When they took steps to get better beef, they wound up with more than they could handle. But by using a little creativity, the new recruits finally convinced the sergeant that change was neces¬ sary. The crowd on stage after the winners were announced was probably the happiest group of men Wesleyan College had ever seen. L -- ff - yt ? WWH - ■ a •= Atlanta Ballet Delights Audience On March 7, Porter Auditorium was crowd¬ ed again, but the atmosphere at this perfor¬ mance was quite different from the previous weekend. This audience enjoyed three beauti¬ fully staged ballets performed by the Atlanta Ballet Company. The dancers had arrived early Thursday morning to begin a day of prac¬ ticing and exercising. Their evening perform¬ ance began with Lumlnesque, choreographed by Robert Barnett. Following this lovely piece, the company presented an intense story ballet, Catherine, inspired by Henry James’s Wash¬ ington Square. The action of this drama cli¬ maxed in a loving pas de deux (dance for two) with Catherine and her suitor. In the third bal¬ let, La Fille Mai Gardee, the mood switched to comedy. Its humorous plot concerned two young people in love whose attempts to meet were frustrated by the disapproval of the girl’s mother, a part danced by a male, David Gra- vldeo. Anne Burton as Lisa and Gil Boggs as Alain were especially memorable characters, but each dancer demonstrated exceptional tal¬ ent and years of practice. The Atlanta Ballet Company, founded in 1929 by Dorothy Alexander, was formed at the beginning of the ballet movement in America and was the first company created outside of New York. The performance at Wesleyan was sponsored by the Programs and Exhibitions Committee. 80 Well-Known Artists Speak On Campus Maurice Sendak, outstanding author and illustrator of children’s books, attracted many interested students to his talks and fascinated lovers of children’s literature during his visit on March 27. Sendak discussed his newest picture book, Outside Over There, and answered ques¬ tions about his writing. Best known for Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen, the famous author talked about his favorite characters, his art school training, and the sto¬ ries behind his books. His visit to campus was sponsored by the Programs and Exhibitions Committee. Jesseye Norman, dramatic soprano, spoke to students on March 20, following her perfor¬ mance for the Macon Concert Association in Porter Auditorium. Belk Lecturer Examines Current Global Problems Dr. J. Harry Haines, administrator of the Methodist relief and rehibilitation program in 62 countries, and of disaster relief in America, delivered a series of lectures on the Belk fund March 7-8. His theme, “Global Issues in 1979 and the Emergence of a New World Order,” was presented in three talks and a 45-minute documentary film. Haines’s lectures concerned the quality of life in modern society, the rela¬ tionship between China and the United States, and the crucial issues centering around the Mid¬ dle East. The movie, “Hope for Life,” dealt with the difficulties in Egypt, Lebanon, and the West Bank. Those who attended the lectures were given a new outlook on world problems. The calendar of the last month of spring semester gets the prize for having the most important events — Awards Assemblies, Spring Weekend, Alumnae Weekend, fare¬ well parties, tennis matches, banquets of ev¬ ery kind, and finally, Commencement. “Golden Girls ' 1 Remember New Rivoli Every April, Wesleyan welcomes back her former students who return as well-dressed, refined, successful women for Alumnae Week¬ end. This year, the “Golden Girls” of 1929, other special anniversary class members, alum¬ nae invited by seniors for candlelighting, and many more former graduates took part in the weekend events. On Friday, April 6, the pro¬ gram featured three alumnae writers, Frances Peabody McKay 25, Anne McKay Garris, 51, and a film on the life of Rebecca Caudill Ayers, ’20. A Big Top set up in front of Porter was the location for refreshments and meals. Dinner was followed by an Alumnae Variety Hour, a party, and class reunions. Saturday’s big event was the Candlelighting Ceremony, during which the Class of 1979 be¬ came official alumnae. A special Alumnae Choir, directed by Carol Thurman, sang the processional. After the Benson Charge, several alumnae were recognized for Distinguished Achievements and Service. Highlighting the morning meeting were the remarks by 1929 graduates about their years at Wesleyan. Eva Kenslnger McWilliams found it hard to be¬ lieve that she had now become “one of the gray-haired old alumnae.” Martha Lamar Morrison, Ruth Elder Nealy, and Frances McNeill Pate each remembered funny stories about “the good old days” at new Rivoli — no showers or baths, mud, Sunday night supper boxes from home, aesthetic dancing, soccer at Thanksgiving, studying, and sisterhood. Talking with graduates of 1929, 1954, and even 1909 proved that “Once a Wesleyanne, always a Wesleyanne.” ]|j Move-Up Banquet Lingers On I any of April’s traditions have been cele¬ brated for some time. A Candlelighting Ceremony, an Alumnae Weekend, a YWCA (instead of SGA) Installation Service, and a Move-Up Banquet were all observed fifty years ago. Most impressive to students in ’29 was the Move-Up Banquet, when juniors took the senior tables and seniors were given special tables, with the added privilege of coming into breakfast after the six-minute bell had been §$ rung. Seniors marched in on Move-Up night wearing evening dresses and singing a favorite igj school song, “If you want to find a place to send your daughter, Mr. Man.” 83 Wesleyan Students Direct One-Acts On April 4 and 5, Ms. Mary Jeffcoat’s directing class presented six one-act plays, three each night. Alda Bales directed “Loose Ends’ by David A. Treen, an abstract play which dealt with the thin line separating fantasy and reality. The cast included Mike McKinney, Kim Pewitt, and Jeanne Myers. Myrna Nolla presented “The Brick and the Rose,” the story of a boy who died of an overdose of heroin. Wesleyan cast members were Marcia Knob- lock, Cathy Silva, Roxanne Shearer, and Aida Bales. The final play presented Wednesday night was “Impromptu,” directed by Sisse Ripley. It concerned four actors who were asked to improvise life. Susan Shuler and Debbi Schaffler played two of these parts. Beth Sei¬ bert ' s play, “The Toyer,” adapted from a short story about a strange young man who helped a beautiful girl, featured Sisse Ripley and Mike McKinney. A cutting from Neil Simon’s “Cali¬ fornia Suite ” was the basis for Susan Shuler ' s play, “Visitors from Philadelphia,” starring Lonnie Thibault, Beth Seibert, and Sisse Rip¬ ley. Sheryl Smith ' s play, “Glory Day” was a suspenseful story about blacks voting in the 1950’s. Deborah Daggett and Pamella D. Har¬ ris were two of the performers. The two even¬ ings offered exciting entertainment. Charles Levendosky Conducts Workshop Poet Charles Levendosky visited Wesley¬ an on April 11, giving a reading of his poems and encouraging prospective creative writers in his workshop. Author of several published books, Levendosky told his audience, “A poet needs to be a good listener.

Later during the week, Sen- planned by Wesleyan Campus Ministry, ate sponsored a dinner to “Roast and Toast” The celebration began with a picnic dinner by Dr. Strickland. Seven past SGA presidents the lake, followed by a beautiful Mendelssohn spoke about changes at the college during his number sang by the Wesleyannes and “The administration. In appreciation for his service to Easter Song” performed by Morning Star. An Senate, Strickland received a silver tray. Spring Court Presented At Mount Vernon Porch Despite a tornado that swept through Macon on Friday afternoon, April 13, plans for Spring Weekend remained much the same. The “Beach Party” was moved to the gym, where dates enjoyed a hamburger “cook-in” and mu¬ sic by the Chevelles. By Saturday afternoon, the weather had cleared enough for the court to be presented. Because of the SRC canoe trip scheduled at the same time, the queen was not crowned as usual, but representatives and their escorts strolled out to stand under the magnolia trees and be recognized. Later, a carved ham dinner was served in Anderson. Events have changed since 1929, when the Junior Prom, held on May 4, was “the out¬ standing event of the social life of the year.” Music was furnished by the Mercer Glee Club orchestra, the campus was transformed into a French carnival ground, informal skits were giv¬ en at intervals during the evening, and refresh¬ ments consisted of white ice cream decorated with a lavender W. tm mmt x tt s tmmt su! he Junior Prom, forerunner of today’s Spring Weekend, was first celebrated in 1905 and was considered a revolu¬ tionary event. But a 1929 Watchtower editorial suggests that students were already considering the prom an “old-fashioned relic of the past.” Nevertheless, Elizabeth Gill Blalock remem¬ bers that “we worked on it for months, and spared no expense to carry out our theme . We sent engraved invitations to our boyfriends and it was considered quite an honor to be invited. ” Weekend Dance Features Bone, Holmes And Friends Wesleyan students found an outlet for their pre-finals spring fever in the formal dance spon¬ sored by CSA on Saturday night of Spring Weekend. The dance was held in the Monu¬ ment Room of Macon Coliseum, where Bone, Holmes, and Friends entertained with disco and rock until 1:00 A.M. Couples got into the Shag, the Hustle, and the Freak and were reluc¬ tant to leave when the band quit playing. At 10:00, Dr. Strickland crowned Lynne Anth- olne Hueglln Spring Queen and announced that LeeLee Seabrook was Maid of Honor, after the formal presentation of Spring Court. The weekend ended an exciting year of CSA activities. Wfeto Come A Long Way, Girls £s thel Rogers Townsend remembers that at her Junior Prom in ’29, “you strolled about with your date, dressed within an inch of your life.” Though that idea may seem boring now, the event was a wel¬ come change to girls who usually entertained their male friends in the college parlor, facing the wall for privacy, with their backs turned to the other couples in the room. The new campus did offer one advantage — the smaller parlors were shared by fewer people at the same time. Wesleyannes were forbidden to sit with young men in the Drug Store or at movies. Only girls with friends in Macon could be invited out for dinner with a date, and even then written per¬ mission from home had to be filed with the Counselor of Women. Our predecessors did find ways to meet men, however. A reception in the fall introduced freshmen to Mercer men, and visiting Glee Clubs and Debating Teams also provided contacts. A new privilege granted to seniors in 1929 was permission to ride with young men unchaperoned — with written per¬ mission, another female student, and a clear conduct record. Rides could not last over two hours or be longer than ten miles. “But believe or not,” says one ’29 graduate, “We had fun!” ur run, : 89 Spring Sports 1979 With the coming of warm weather, SRC in¬ tramurals in softball, archery, and track sent many students outside to join the competition. Four softball teams, each made up of players from all classes, offered a different type of team spirit . However, the biggest attraction of spring sports was the intercollegiate tennis team. 90 Tennis Team Plays To Win . . . Some, Lose Some Months before the first tennis match was scheduled on March 6, team members were working hard, under Coach Jim Benner’s orders, to get in shape by running, rope jump¬ ing, and practicing. Although the team had lost several skillful players from last year, a number of enthusiastic freshmen became involved and added energy to this year’s team. Matches were played during March and April with Middle Georgia College, Valdosta State, Armstrong State, Mercer, Tift, Georgia State, Young Har¬ ris, and Georgia Southwestern. The Wesleyan team also hosted members of the Mt. Holyoke College tennis team from Massachusetts, who spent several days at Wesleyan to practice in warmer weather during their spring break. Wesleyan’s team experienced both defeat and victory, but as the season stretched into April, their wins became more frequent. Georgia State, Young Harris, Georgia Southwestern, and Tift were all defeated by Wesleyan, and the team ended the season with a close 6-7 stand¬ ing. With the large number of experienced play¬ ers who will be returning next year, Benner looks forward to a successful 1980 season. 91 ; Seniors Become Faculty Members On Skit Night Four years of observing teachers in classes finally proved to be worth some good entertain¬ ment for the seniors and their audience on Skit Night, April 9. The idiosyncracies of faculty members from several departments were played up to the hilt, while some of the genuin? subjects watched themselves on stage. After the skits and songs, certain seniors received unusual “awards” based on a class vote for those with outstanding, but not always appreci¬ ated, character traits. Seniors also read their Last Wills and Testaments. Skit Night was fol¬ lowed by a party for the seniors given by the Green Knights. 92 Honors Assembly Recognizes Students The annual Honors Day Convocation was held on April 17 at 11:15 A.M. in Porter Audi¬ torium. As one of the three formal assemblies of the year, the event began with a faculty procession. Members of Mortar Board, Phi Kappi Phi, Pi Gamma Mu, and Beta Beta Beta were recognized; academic awards, certificates, and scholarships were presented; and depart¬ mental honors were announced. Those hon¬ ored at the assembly were invited to a special banquet at 6:00 P.M. in the Manget Dining Room, K appa phi Certificates Anne Cook Carol Fullerton Alisa Fussell Anne Armstrong Carol Christopher Paula E.

Conner Horace B. Gray Award Iris Keen fe One Hundred Graduates Receive Wesleyan Diplomas The last Saturday in April was a beautiful day at Wesleyan, especially to the seniors who rose early to put on black gowns and mortar boards for their last special event on campus — the graduation of the class of 1979. At 9:30 A.M., the rec room was a scene of hectic activ¬ ity as hooders in white dresses draped their graduates’ hoods gracefully over their arms, calmed the seniors down, and took pictures. Classmates who had been through four long years together exchanged presents and hugs as the time for the final march came closer. Up the familiar loggia steps, down the drive in front of Porter, past Tate, and between rows of smiling faculty members, the long line of black-robed graduates walked into the auditorium where their parents and friends were assembled for the ceremony. After a moving prayer by Dr. Quiambao, Dr. Judson C. Ward of Emory University spoke to the seniors about the wide variety of opportunities open to women now graduating. He encouraged the class to look ahead, but to remember that “the experience of people before you can advise and inspire you” in making choices that will lead to a re¬ warding life. After his address, four senior pi¬ ano majors performed a Bach concerto for four pianos. President Strickland then presented di¬ plomas to the graduates. The Commencement Exercises ended with the Alma Mater, fol¬ lowed by reunions and farewells on the steps of Porter. he first class to graduate from the Ri- voli campus was also the first class to have morning exercises. The seniors’ Foreword to the 1929 Veterropt expressed their feelings on that day: “Out from her arched colonial doors we go, and the fragile swinging lanterns throw their light before our feet, like the love and care of Alma Mater. In our hearts we bear the peace, the hope, the confidence that fellowship within her wed Is has brought us.” J_ - May is primarily an academic m campus. The students who stay short term find the course work cl ing and time-consuming, in spite loads. May Term Offers Variety Of Courses Wesleyan’s third May Term enrolled about 150 students in a wide range of classroom and out-of-class activities. Traditional courses of¬ fered during the month included Advanced Spoken Spanish, Children’s Literature, Cre¬ ative Writing, Chemistry, Computer Program¬ ming, Classroom Management, and other edu¬ cation courses. For those who wanted to try something a little different, Dr. Strong directed a “Photographic Study of the American Com¬ munity,” Mr. George McKinney taught jewelry¬ making, Tony Rice instructed a watercolor class, and Dr. Jacob Quiambao offered a study of eastern influences in America. Study Habits Never Change hat was the academic life at Wesleyan like in the twenties? It was harder in one obvious way — classes met six days a week, including Saturdays. Classes then were just as long as they are now, and one alum has not forgotten the infamous “Clocks with jerky hands that marked the slowly passing time in the classrooms.” A 1930 graduate re¬ members that “the academic life was study, study, study — term papers in every subject.” Strangely enough, there were not enough hours in the day then, either — especially at exam time. Frances Knott Smith and her friends “would sit up in the parlors on each floor the night before exams. Someone said a Hershey Bar was the equivalent of two hours sleep so we would just eat two or three and feel re - freshed the next morning after a few hours sleep. ” A Watchtower article tells a humorous story about two girls who stayed up all night studying for a French mid-term and then slept through it! (Nov. 7, 1928). But the most inter¬ esting newspaper article on studying came out April 18, 1929, and described the many differ¬ ent types of students one can observe in the library. Here is one every Wesleyanne can rec¬ ognize: “ The desperate student is perhaps the most interesting type of all. Promptly at nine- thirty she dashes frantically into the library, taps several girls on the shoulders, and pro¬ ceeds to find out what the lesson is. Having accomplished this she brings to the table whole stacks of books from the shelves and writes feverishly, glancing often at the clock. She is at last seen leaving the library with arms piled full of books in a futile attempt to do one week s work in one hour s time. mkr res! 4 V V - « t ' Ceramic Class, 19 0’i y 7 V VTVyY ' y y y y V V7V Vyy-yV I | I I 97 E__ A . - ‘ l i I i ti?e PEOPLE No matter how perfect the surroundings or how thrilling the moments, the places and events merely provide a setting for our interac¬ tions with others who share them with us. Years from now when we refl ect on times spent at Wesleyan, our thoughts will always center around the people we loved — the friends who would drop everything and listen as we unbur¬ dened all our fears and hopes late at night, the ones who were always able to make us laugh in the face of a romantic or academic tragedy, and those special people who were always there to help us make every minute memorable. Our teachers, our classmates, our colleagues, our sisters, are the life of Wesleyan. I , didn ' t nift. | ( ♦utMdowith f 100 Joan Pafford Selecting one faculty or administration mem¬ ber from the many who give so much of their time and energy to Wesleyan students is always a difficult task for the Senior Class. But Joan Pafford’s contributions to the college during our four years here have been truly “phenom¬ enal ’ Outstanding as a coach, a teacher, and advisor, she has not only worked hard with SRC in carrying out Wesleyan’s athletic pro¬ gram, but she has also made many of us more aware of the importance of staying fit through¬ out life. Because of her enthusiastic support, genuine concern, and “heart of gold,” the Golden Hearts dedicate the 1979 Veterropt to Joan Pafford. — Elizabeth Gill Martha Lamar Anne Morgan Dorothy Elizabeth Qulllian Annie Ruth Elder Dixie Brooks Jones Alumnae Contribute To Vetcrropt any in me wnen me sian decided on a “Golden Anniversary” theme for the yearbook, a letter was sent out to alumnae who were students fifty years ago ask¬ ing for pictures of and information about Wes¬ leyan life in 1928-29. The response was excel¬ lent, and we thank the following Wesleyannes (a few are pictured above) who sent entertain¬ ing letters, pictures, and souvenirs of life on the new Rivoli campus: Elizabeth Gill Blalock, Elizabeth Woodward Bradley, Carolyn Bacon Beard, Margaret Garnett Harris, Dixie Jones LeDuc, Martha Lamar Morri¬ son, Annie Ruth Elder Nealy, Carolyn An¬ derson Pierson, Minnie Lee Herrington Rountree, Marjorie Royal, Dorothy Quil- lian Smith, Frances Knott Smith, Lilliam Pafford Tate, Ethel Rogers Townsend, Inez Ward Wright. The people that make up Wesleyan’s admin¬ istration, faculty, and staff cannot be stereo¬ typed. Among those employed by the college are individuals who differ widely in personal¬ ities and life styles. Students know isolated facts about most of the teachers, even those they never have, and link each one with correspond¬ ing interests — Dr. Strong, Mark Twain and Kawasakis; Dr. Taylor, History 399, and golf; Dr. Walter Brown and Sartre; Jim Brown and Corvettes; Joel Plum and ceramics; Anthony Rice and watermelons; Dr. Bargainnier and Agatha Christie; Miss Munck, Kiddie Lit, and peppermint; Dr. Frank James and English peas; Pat Lewis, the jungle, and fruit flies. Adminis¬ tration and staff members have their hobbies also, including flying, photography, basketball, and sailing. But Wesleyan’s professionals often do not like being described as “active in sports,” “busy in community affairs” as if they need to prove their humanity. Any student who has been here for even a short time knows that they are human; that they are interested, con¬ cerned, and friendly in spite of (or maybe be¬ cause of) all their education and achievements. Most of them have different reasons for being here, but the majority will admit that they enjoy Wesleyan students. Thomas yd, Vio i Affairs an Hubbard, IMitor of r inancial Aid ( VxrV “No college education is complete unless it is built on a love of truth. ” Dr. Earl Strickland Wesleyan’s administration has undergone some important changes over the past year, including Dean Boyd’s arrival and Dr. Strick¬ land’s resignation. The task of selecting a new president from the many applicants began in the fall and continued through the year. wpmm •umtw rnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwlMimiiMIlIHRHnilMlIHillW “Wesleyan offers a young woman the opportu¬ nity to develop her potential in many ways of her own choosing while having the guidance and encouragement of people who care. 99 Virginia Berlin Wesleyan students were pleased that Dr. Strickland would be remaining on campus in the Religion Department. His thoughts on edu¬ cation reflect his contribution to Wesleyan’s philosophy: “A college education is about living and learning and earning, in that order. It should provide the supportive atmosphere for young adults who are maturing and who are making decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. It should encourage a love of learning that will continue through the years. It should lay at least the foundation upon which a life’s work or earning a living can be built. It inevitably, if it is good, will lead to self-understanding and to self- fulfillment.” ira McDuffie tiissions Counselor Laura Reid Admissions Counselor inces Van Horn imnae Director ' eda Nad Alumnae Alice Domingos Assistant Alumnae “The Alumnae Office is a link 9 between cur rent and former students , working to keep alumnae informed about their Alma Mater.

To see those students that we have worked to bring here graduate is a very reward¬ ing moment. This is the ongoing — the life — of Wesleyan College ’ Debbie Stockton Art American Studies T feel that we learned alot, and that the reason for our learning was the dedication of outstanding teachers. ” Marjorie Royal, 32 Wesleyan has had a long history of excellent faculty members who have been committed not only to the importance of knowledge, but to the needs of individual students. The professors here are special people, outstanding in their fields and in their ability to inspire students to reach high goals in learning. ' The faculty in the Art Department are pro¬ fessional, producing artists as well as teachers Teaching at Wesleyan offers the constant challenge of keeping your mind while everyone around you is loosing theirs. ” Joel Plum Joel Plum Libby Bailey “I am completing my ninth year of teaching at Wesleyan this year. Here, a teacher has an opportunity to know students personally and follow their intellectual progress. Students here demand much of teachers in terms of instruc¬ tion and out-of-class contact. These demands promote growth and a feeling of self-worth and accomplishment. Psychology offers students an opportunity for development of self and preparation for an occupation or graduate study. I feel that we have a highly qualified staff in psychology all of whom hold doctorates in separate areas of spe¬ cialization. Our department offers a wide range of courses with particular emphasis on field studies and possibilities for off campus involve¬ ment. ” William L. Curry Business “Wesleyan has a low faculty student ratio and because of this low ratio, each student should receive personal attention throughout their college experience. Wesleyan makes a commitment to each student and provides for that student the best possible situation for both personal and academic growth . As a professor at Wesleyan I have found that I can become involved in the total program of the college. 1 get to know each student as an individual. To a large extent, teaching at Wes¬ leyan allows me to “practice what I preach” about total involvement in one ' s profession.” Jerrell E. Lopp Health And Physical Education Beverly Mitchell History And Political Science 4, The enjoyment I find here is for many rea¬ sons: The potential to become involved in many phases of the academia, the curiosity and initia¬ tive demonstrated by students, the congeniality felt among all who make up the college commu¬ nity, and last but perhaps most meaningful, the endearing Spirit of Wesleyan that cannot help but touch the heart. 99 Beverly Mitchell Language And Literature “A liberal arts education acquaints us with some of the best of human accomplishments and, perhaps , makes us aware of what we our¬ selves may attain. Bill Prince “One of the most important reasons you go to college is to learn how little you know. If you learn that, you will likely learn a great deal more. If you don f t learn that ; you are lost. ” Arch Beckelheimer Wary Hatfie peech Journalism m 0s na Franklin 112 Religion And Philosophy “Wesleyan offers individual students the op¬ portunity to participate in the decision process that determines college policy. I enjoy teaching here because students are friendly and appre¬ ciative. The study of religion helps the individual develop her values and a philosophy of life that is needed, especially in a complex society like ours. ” Jacob Quiambao Theatre “To understand today ' s society , one needs a broad background in many academic disci¬ plines; to function at its upper levels, one needs advanced, specialized training in one such disci¬ pline. ” John K. Hampson “The study of the sciences and mathematics is an exciting component of the liberal arts education. The opportunity to look into an area with new perception is a hallmark of the liberal arts education. The dynamics of DNA Replica¬ tion, of molecule reactions, and the symmetry of systems are new vistas for most students and this view will profoundly affect the way science and mathematics students perceive their world and themselves. 99 Frank James 115 ■1 Administration And Faculty Index W.

But during soccer or Stunt, who cares? Competi¬ tion among Green Knights, Golden Hearts, Pur¬ ple Knights, and Tri-K Pirates may be hard to understand, but it does make life at Wesleyan exciting, fun and special. The bonds of sister¬ hood in classes and between classes are real and lasting. The development of class traditions at Wes- leyan began at the turn of the century. The four colors were permanently adopted on Class Day seventy-five years ago, a day of events similar to our Homecoming pep rally with cheers, songs, and banners celebrating class and school’ spirit. The senior class of 1903 chose gold and white as their colors; 1904, green and gold; 1905, red and white; and 1906, lavender and white. The colors have passed down unchanged with the exception of green and gold which became green and white in 1948. The class mottoes and flowers of the early 1900’s have now been replaced by class symbols of hearts, shields, knights, and pirates. These mascots have a fascinating, but hazy, history. The 1969 Veterropt offers the following information: In 1913, the red and white seniors pub¬ lished an annual entitled the Ku Klux, thus coming to be known as the “Ku Klux Klass.” The insignia of a skull and cross- bones inscribed KKK was given to the annual staff later that year. As the Ku Klux Klan fell into disrepute around 1920, the class used their banner as a basis for a new name, the Tri-K Class. A popular spot on the old campus, the Crow ’s Nest, a large platform built around a tree, may have contributed to the pirate theme. The first Veterropt was presented by the gold and white class of 1915. They recorded that they “marched forth as Juniors under the banner of a gallant Knight.” The president of the pre¬ ceding class had been Caroline Knight, and the idea of the knight sister classes may have originated here. It was not un¬ til 1920 that the senior and sophomore classes were referred to as Knights of the Round Table, the seniors at this time represented by green and gold and the sophomores by lavender and white. These names became popular in 1945, when the juniors were dubbed Knights of the Purple Garter and the freshmen, Knights of the Table Round. The Golden Heart name came from a poem published by the seniors of 1919, expressing their hope to meet the world’s needs after the war. Soon after, the gold and white class began posing in a heart shape. SENIORS ' lOLDEN HEARTS HEARTS SENIORS GOLDEN Outstanding GH his year has been a “golden year” in more ways than one. The graduating Golden Hearts leave Wesleyan with gold Soccer Cup, a gold Stunt Cup, and a gold Spirit Cup, all won by our class for the first time this year. As seniors, we have enjoyed a closer unity and a better spirit than ever before. Origi¬ nal residents of the first, third, and second floors have learned that each class member has an important contribution to make to class ac¬ tivities. The school year has brought us oppor¬ tunities to use undiscovered talents and chances to develop gifts of leadership. For many of us, it has brought changes in career plans and visions of successful futures. It has been a time of serious study, uninhibited fun, deserved victory, and tough decisions. We leave Wesleyan’s supportive environment to experience new challenges in teaching, re¬ search, graduate school, marriage, and busi¬ ness. Our four years here have had an impact on us that cannot be measured by GPA’s or lists of extracurricular activities alone. Wesleyan’s influence has more to do with attitudes of social responsibility, feelings of confidence, and assur¬ ances of lasting friendships. The Golden Year DRS GOLDEN HEARTS SENIORS GOLDEN HEARTS SENI 123 i ORS GOLDEN HEARTS SENIORS GOLDEN A Day Of New Experiences It all started four years ago on September 1 , 1975 , when over three hundred proud parents gave up their Labor Day vacations to move their daughters into a second home at Wesley¬ an. So much happened in that long ten hours between arrival and sleep! Every senior remem¬ bers something about that day — small rooms, molding hooks, unfamiliar faces, formidable books, packed mailboxes, crowded orientation schedules, loving tears, new friends, silly songs. Down by the lake each new freshman looked around to determine what attitude her class¬ mates had toward this foolishness before cau¬ tiously putting her hands on her head and yell¬ ing out a first “Golde-e-e-n Hearts!” Within a week, the “foolishness” had become routine at meals, pep rallies, and in the dorm. The cheers did not seem ridiculous after all, especially as it became clear that class symbolism had strong roots at Wesleyan.

By 1905, yellow and white had become standard colors for ev¬ ery fourth graduating class. Until 1919, this class was called the Daisy Class. Just before the twenties, sororities were abolished on campus and small social clubs took their place. The Golden Heart Club was one of these, first orga¬ nized to encourage spirit in the yellow and white class, but growing to include the entire class. In true GH tradition, the class of 79 began to “cheer on the gold and white”, in spite of early morning assemblies and a bombardment of personality and placement tests. Just as the worst of orientation seemed to be over, the Sophomores arrived to make life more difficult for the freshmen. Golden Hearts retaliated by kidnapping the meanest sophomore, Pam Risi, covering PK doors with newspapers at night, and shouting GH cheers louder than ever. “Here’s To The Gold And White” GOLDEN HEARTS SENIORS GOLDEN HEARTS SENIORS GOL 127 The First Homecoming Game All this freshmen effort was only to be ex¬ pected, of course, and behind the scenes the “mean old PHY were actually applauding. Eventually the Golden Hearts discovered that every freshmen class had enjoyed the same attention. At the fountain it became clear that everything had been done for the purpose of class unity and spirit. After a few more weeks of first floor “Munck” parties and third floor furniture raids, the GH’s discovered a most exciting new sport - soccer. The hard-playing freshmen ap ( proached the Homecoming Championship game with a 2-2-2 record. The weekend began ' with a Gold Color Rush victory, but the exper ienced GK’s defeated the GH team to capture the Soccer Cup. After Christmas Holidays, January Term was a pleasant break between semesters, giving freshmen time to enjoy new friendships. Spring brought a GH victory in basketball and - Stunt practices!

First floor Persons became the costume area, and miraculously GH’s appeared on stage attired as the zodiac signs for “Your Star is Born.” The flu epidemic striking in the middle of everything provided an extra day off to recuperate. Having better luck in sports, the GH’s won the swimming cup. When summer arrived, everyone packed up to go their separate ways. However, Nadine kept sophomores posted as plans were made to welcome the GK’s to campus. GH’s returned in late August with yellow sheets, black robes, broomsticks, and gifts for the new arrivals. Dur¬ ing the first three weeks, sophs spent most of their time in class meetings worrying about the mental state of the GK’s. Would they crack up? Golden Hearts learned to stare collectively in¬ stead of individually. They also learned “the GH vote” — hands on head, eyes closed.

Close friendships were started between GK’s and GH’s at the Life March on Saturday. Soccer season began with the same enthusi¬ asm of the past year. Again GH’s made it to the championship game at Homecoming, but shared the Cup with the PK’s due to a tie. The gold class rushed red at Color Rush, proving that “Hearts are Red, Too!” November also brought the coldest winter most class members had ever known, and they “enjoyed” the chill night air during frequent 4 A.M. bomb threats. Another exciting event of the fall was Jimmy Carter’s election to the presidency. Suddenly it was finals time again, and Richard Trice offered pizza and ice cream study breaks for those who were tired of dorm popcorn parties. “Sisters Like We Should Be GOLDEN HEARTS SENIORS GOLDEN HEARTS SENIORS Ik Becoming Big Sisters Golden Hearts found it hard to jump right back into five classes in January, especially with the added confusion of trying to declare majors and deciding whether or not to transfer. Deci¬ sions were made and remade many times be¬ fore Stunt. This year the class had “trouble in Chattersville” that could only be remedied by the divine intervention of angels. Though the GH’s did not win, they shared the joy of their Big Sisters who won both cups. Later, the Sophomore-Senior Banquet brought tears; and graduation, the final goodbyes — not only to the Tri-K’s, but to many transferring Golden Hearts. When GH’s arrived back on campus as jun¬ iors, a transformation had taken place. Now they were Big Sisters, Peer Counselors, the ones helping to “run the show.” There were disadvantages to these new positions of respon¬ sibility, however.

At Homecoming, there was no fight to win Color Rush (the PK rolls of material would have beat any efforts). The GH’s just missed the Soccer Cup again by tieing the championship with the PK’s, who won with a better season record. However, after their third annual basketball vic¬ tory in January, Golden Hearts were able to engrave that cup. As for academics, juniors found the work harder but more rewarding as they loaded up in major courses. The work only increased when Stunt rehearsals started again; this time for “If the Crown Fits, Wear It.” Though the Stunt wasn’t the best, the Golden Heart attitudes won the Spirit Cup, the class’s first Stunt victory. As the year flew by, GH’s suddenly found them¬ selves “moving up” as “Tired Old Seniors.” The SGA Installation Banquet placed GH’s in major leadership positions. 1 , SENIORS GOLDEN HEARTS SENIORS GOLDEN HEARTS • i B • i 1 “I know I will be able to obtain and hold leadership roles in the future because of my experiences in leadership roles at Wesleyan. ” Kay Appling SENIORS GOLDEN “The advantages of attending Wesleyan are individual attention , good student-faculty rela¬ tionships, and chances to develop leadership. ” Jeanne Norton Amy Cheryl Miller English Secondary Education Peggy Dumas Moody Early Childhood Education Linda Carolyn Moore Psycholog y Teresa Dale Morrow Elementary Education I - GOLDEN HEARTS SENIORS GOLDEN Linda Raby Mullis Business A dministration Economics Nancy Ripley Murdock Education Middle Grades Keiko Niki America Studies Deborah Peacock Norris Social Work Religion Jeanne Marie Norton History Rachel Margaret Plant Philosophy Religion Rebecca Elizabeth Plant Philosophy Religion Nadine C.

It was hard for the class to believe that their days at Wesleyan were almost over. Despite all the rivalry between the two classes. Golden Hearts knew they were going to miss the “still crazy” PK’s. Senior year began with Fall Convocation coming much too soon. For the first time, Rat came and went without help from the Golden Hearts, except work in the Haunted House and a great Senior party. Senior Skip Day in the fall gave everyone a good chance to relax at High Falls. At Halloween, the class enlisted every¬ one’s help in opening the Wortham Haunted House to the public for the Senior Class Pro¬ ject. After some debate, the class decided that their project would be to purchase signs identi¬ fying the dorms more easily. To raise the need¬ ed money, Golden Hearts found themselves surrounded by chocolate candy all year and later smothered in T-shirts. “Buy Some Delicious Senior Candy!” l TS SENIORS GOLDEN HEARTS SENIORS GOLDEN HEARTS -■ . ■— 139 I I . t J ' I r i I . “Better Days On Our Side” Hearts approached soccer with their usual determination to win, and the exciting season ended at Homecoming with the coveted Cup in their possession. The pep rally that week was the seniors’ first time to say goodbye to Wesley¬ an; their last time to enjoy the donuts and hot chocolate that have always followed the songs. The weekend theme, “Better Days,” was per¬ fect as each class member looked forward to the coming year’s excitement. Time between big events was spent filling out applications for jobs and graduate schools. Winter brought one big snow, application deadlines, and, for some, student teaching. In spite of being tired, the class put all the energy they had been saving into Stunt, and the vigorous dancing and pit rehearsals helped the Golden Hearts perform a great show. The judges thought so, too. SENIORS GOLDEN HEARTS SENIORS GOLDEN HEARTS SI A r NIORS GOLDEN “My most memorable experience was the attitude of our class during Stunt this year.

Nothing matched the seniors’ excitement at winning those two cups, and knowing that they were deserved because their Stunt had enter¬ tained the audience. The last stretch of March and April was crowded with too much to do and too little time to spend with goodbyes — honor banquets, assemblies, parties, Skit Night, finals, and pack¬ ing kept everyone busy. Graduation Day found the seniors excited and ready to go. The class that began as the terror of Wesleyan left as the class with the most honor graduates in years. Not only will Wesleyan live on in the memories of the Golden Hearts, but lasting impressions of the class of 1979 will linger at the college. “Tired Old Seniors” Still Have Spark!

Class lived through the same events that every other Wesleyan freshman class has endured. The first few weeks of the year were filled with the exper¬ iences of moving into the dorm, rushing to ori¬ entation meetings, and learning what classes were held in which building. Then, just when each freshman thought she had adjusted to col¬ lege life, Rat Week began. The freshmen will remember this experience for many years. The year held many novelties for the Purple Knights — soccer seaso n, color rush, winning the Basketball Cup, Stunt, and all the other activities that are uniquely a part of Wesleyan. Though many freshmen encountered problems this year (not the least of which was learning to love purple), the unity of the P.K. class came through to make the year a great one.

The name of Wesleyap possesses a real sig¬ nificance, and it is impossible to think that the organizations of such a college should be mere¬ ly nominal. The activities of the campus are of great interest throughout the entire student body. They play an integral part in the make-up of the college. The purpose of Wesleyan organizations may be said to be the promotion of the wellbeing — mental physical, and spiritual, - and happi¬ ness of the students in their Wesleyan home. The Veterropt. 1933 A sampling of some of the many different group activities occuring this year includes a tree planting and picnic lunches by the Day Students, a fashion show and an alumnae speaker sponsored by the Black Student Alli¬ ance, a sixties documentary and slide show pre¬ sented by the History-Government Club, a bake and book sale by KDE and SGAE, a tax seminar by the Business Club, and a Leadership Confer¬ ence for high school students hosted by the Student Recruitment Team. Besides major or¬ ganizations and interest clubs, honors groups do annual service projects such as stuffing Can¬ cer Society envelopes. Groups of Peer Coun¬ selors and Resident Assistants are chosen espe¬ cially to help and advise other students. Teams, of course, provide the year-round competition in different sports that Wesleyan enjoys. No wonder a student can easily spread herself too thin for studying!

It was first organized in 1912, primarily to enforce college rules and the Honor Code. Senate, the Legislative Branch of SGA, has had a part in many changes in campus regulations over the years and continues to evaluate and update policies governing college life. This year, Senate committees effectively reorga¬ nized the Student Handbook, aided the Admis¬ sions Office with recruitment programs, sought to increase communication among faculty and students, and arranged meetings to familiarize the trustees with SGA activities. Except for the continued defeat of the required assemblies proposal, Senate has had a successful, progres¬ sive year. Elections Board Back Row: Jan Hobson, chairperson; Jan Hicks; Gwen Perry.

For many years, social activities at Wesleyan were organized by the Y.W.C.A. Not until 1943 was the Social Standards Board estab¬ lished to enforce “all standards of dress and behavior.” Dining room manners, dating prob¬ lems, proper introductions, dances, and parties with servicemen were in some way under the jurisdiction of the board. Social Standards be¬ came CSA in 1972 and its responsibilities have significantly increased. This year, the council planned enough events to keep everyone busy — dances, mixers, concerts, and movies. A new idea, Mother-Daughter Weekend in Janu¬ ary was a wonderful success and probably be¬ gan a new tradition. SRC has its roots in the Athletic Association, which was organized in 1904 to promote sports. The A.A. was active in planning games and awarding winners with cups and letters. SRC now organizes all major sports activities and offers opportunities for individual tourna¬ ments.

CRC has the longest history of any student organization on campus. It began as the Y.W.C.A. in 1897, which was organized to “lead students to faith in God through Jesus Christ.” Through the years, the Y.W.C.A. of¬ fered many opportunities for spiritual and so¬ cial growth by planning parties, banquets, wor¬ ship services, and the annual stunt night. In 1970, the Y.W.C.A. became CRC. This year, the council has been as busy as ever with spe¬ cial programs, bringing singing groups, drama groups, and speakers to campus. CRC mem¬ bers also began remodeling the old Y Chapel on third floor Porter.

Historically, Honor Court has operated as a 1 committee of Student Government. Only re¬ cently (1973) did CJA become an official board. Enforcing regulations and punishing of¬ fenders has never been an easy job. One alum¬ na remembers that in 1954 her husband was tried and banned from campus for throwing a fire cracker. Though students complain about the rules Honor Court enforces today, they are more reasonable than those former Wes- leyannes have endured. The 1929 handbook listed cutting dinner as a minor offense, and riding with a young man unchaperoned as a major offense. Honor Court’s main emphasis this year has been Wesleyan’s Honor Code, a principle that has its beginnings in the earliest years of the college. 168 Persons House Council Banks House Council Front row: Paula Cobb; Gwen Perry; Lynne Anthoine, Dorm Pres.; Anita Marchman.

According to the 1928- 29 Wesleyan Student Handbook, “The pur¬ pose of the magazine is to encourage original writing and criticism of a constructive nature. It portrays the literary ability of Wesleyan.” To¬ day the magazine is published twice yearly and features art work, photographs, and musical compositions as well as writing.

The Watchtower came out bi-weekly or weekly until 1951, when the name was changed to Town emd Country. Since that time, it has been known as the “T C,” while the actual name switched to Times and Chimes and finally Times and Challenge. The 1979 staff has man¬ aged to publish several excellent newspapers in spite of drawbacks. 171 Head Honchos Amy Miller, editor; Ann Haslam, assistant editor; Wanda Maynard, layout editor. A quote from the 1902 Zig-Zag expresses our feelings exactly: “Few roses have been gathered along the editorial pathway, and even these have not been thornless.” Publishing an annual is difficult, especially when deadlines fall in the middle of Stunt, pictures don’t turn out, and money and staff members disappear. But in spite of the problems, the experience of putting a book together has had its great moments. The first annual was published in 1900 by the Phi Mu Sorority. Senior classes produced later yearbooks with various titles, such as the 1913 Ku Klux and the 1914 Dixian. In 1915, the first Veterropt came out, and the editors expressed their hopes that future books would uphold the high ideals of the new name. The 1929 Hand¬ book discussed the “oldest and best” yearbook as one that “portrays the lights and shadows of college life and is a last memory of happy days at Wesleyan.” This year the staff has worked hard to make the 1979 issue a “golden anniver¬ sary” book — doing library research, talking to alumnae, reading old letters, and searching for old pictures to tie together the past and present at Wesleyan.

As early as 1899, tennis — per¬ haps the first sport here — was played by girls attired in long skirts and hats. In 1901, Wesleyan had class basketball teams. Basket¬ ball was the favorite sport for decades, with the annual Thanksgiving celebration centering around the opening of the basketball season. In the twenties, team members were required to eat at a training table in the dining hall and sweets were forbidden. Soccer replaced basketball as the fall activity in 1925. Wesleyan was the first college in the ™� i South to introduce the sport. The Athletic As¬ sociation, a forerunner of SRC, found it hard to promote this “radical change.” But soccer soon rivaled basketball in popularity. The first soccer cup was presented to the red and white class in 1925, and the first basketball cup to the same class in 1928. In addition to the traditional favorites, Wes¬ leyan students have taken part in swimming, horseback riding, hiking, golf, archery, and even rifle-shooting over the years.

Veterropts of over one hundred years ago listed ‘Senior Superlatives,” usually includ¬ ing a Most Charming, A Most Attractive, a Most Intellectual, a Most Athletic, and a variety of other titles. Honor organizations have existed even longer, with Scribes being one of the earliest and most revered groups on campus. This excerpt from the 1928 Watchtower de¬ scribes Helen Lowe’s election as Miss Wesley - an that year: “As a member of the senior class she has shown interest in class affairs as well as in the general school activities. Last year she was captain of the class soccer squad. She was editor of the 1927-28 Watchtower, and is now editor of the Veterropt. ‘wwmm .$ V • |L4 V ; tfV, V V V JxM To be selected by the student body as Wes¬ leyan Woman of the Year is the highest honor a senior can hope to attain. Jeanne has given much of her time to Wesleyan. First be¬ coming well-known for her role in freshmen Stunt, she went on to serve as Executive Stunt Chairman in 1979. Jeanne has also served as president of Mortar Board, president of the History-Government Club, and editor of the Wesleyan Magazine. She received Department¬ al Honors in History and graduated magna cum laude. Jeanne thinks that she will be remem¬ bered for “never being able to relax,” but those of us who know her will remember her intelli¬ gence, creativity, hard work, and unique per¬ sonality. Jeanne Norton 186 Senior Honor Award Nadine Cheek Another of Wesleyan’s highest awards is giv¬ en by the faculty to the woman who represents their conception of the ideal Wesleyan student. Nadine has been outstanding in her field of music, receiving a Talent Award, the Susan Martin Catchings Award, the Sigma Alpha lota Award, and the Marlon Chenery Music Award. She has used her talents and leadership skills as Sigma Alpha Iota president, Wes- leyannes president, and Glee Club president. She has also been active in class activities, serv¬ ing as Golden Heart president her sophomore year and taking a lead role in the Senior Stunt. 187 Believe it or not, Lou majors in music educa¬ tion, not in extra-curricular activi ties. Lou feels that one of her most challenging jobs has been collecting mid-year reports for Senate. She is also proud of the fact that she brought her grade in EDU 209 from an “F” at the beginning of the semester to an “A” at the end. Known to a select few as L.L. Bean (one of the Bean sisters) and to others a the phantom practice room patron, Lou somehow manages to find time for her Pooh-bear, Mortar Board, the presidency of SGA, and WCF. Lou’s vast do¬ mestic talent is evident by the fact that she tried to refrigerate balogna and mayonnaise in the window sill. When she graduates, Lou plans to teach high school choral music. “You won’t believe this!” Well, maybe not, but anyone who hears that phrase knows that Natalie is the one talking. Nat’s moment of glory came during Sophomore Stunt when she sat perfectly still for thirty minutes in her role as the statue. People kid Natalie about being qui¬ et, but they will remember her for being every¬ one’s listening ear. Her talent for listening has helped her a great deal as Persons RA. Another interesting job for Natalie was working in Can¬ ada as a missionary one summer. A math edu¬ cation major, she feels that her biggest accom¬ plishment at Wesleyan has been maintaining her sanity. President of CRC and a basketball bench-warmer, Natalie plans to teach high school math somewhere in the South. Otherwise known as Nadine Sheek, Nadine is kidded about her pigeon-toed walk. She will be remembered for her role as “J.R.” in Senior Stunt, when after four years of learning to sing correctly, she belted out her numbers like a new recruit. Her biggest accomplishment at Wesleyan was her work toward a piano voice double major. As class president in her sopho¬ more year, she taught the whole class to raise their eyebrows in order to improve stunt sing¬ ing. She has been a GMTA finalist for two years, a talent award winner, and a Fulbright Scholarship Finalist in 1978. She is a member of Phi Kappa Phi and has served as president of Signa Alpha Iota, Glee Club, and Wesleyannes. Her futures plans? “Sing!” !Vi f ) 1 Christened “Adipose” by her loving room¬ mate, Katherine, Robbie says people kid her about the little black comb she carries. “Num¬ ber 11V’ claim-to-fame is scoring the eleventh team goal on the eleventh day in the eleventh month to win the soccer cup. Her favorite phrase, made famous by her lead role in the winning stunt, is “I’ve been in Wesleyan and around Wesleyan for four long years.” An in¬ teresting job was getting paid by the State of Georgia for lying in a creek all summer (GHP, 78). A health and physical education major, her biggest accomplishment has been surviving close encounters with Dr. Mitchell. Robbie plans to teach in high school, get her M.A. and Ph.D., and end up coaching the No. 1 Woman’s basketball team in the nation. “Que te portes mal para que te diviertas,” (ask her what it means) is Carol’s favorite phrase. Her classmates remember Carol for skipping a soccer season to spend a semester in Mexico, and they will always kid her about going barefoot — everywhere. She wins the award for having the most majors — Spanish, Education, and History Political Science, and it was in the classroom that she accomplished her greatest task — an “A” in HIS 399! Carol spent a summer in Washington as a Congres¬ sional Intern for Billy Evans, and she plans to travel even further — to Peru as a missionary- teacher for two years. Carol has been active in Phi Sigma Iota, WCF, KDE, BSU, and History- Government Club. She is a Wesleyan Scholar. Dilbeck Margar Who is that tall, blond crayon? Margaret Dil¬ beck, with eight other crazy people at the Hal¬ loween Banquet. Margaret is known for batting clean-up for the Blue Ridge Hillbillies and for being one of the few Georgia residents who have Tennessee addresses. A chemistry major, Margaret spent a summer doing undergraduate research at the University of North Carolina, but her future plans are to enter the world of management. As a senior, she has performed a colossal feat in managing the Veterropt’s fi¬ nances without going bananas. Extremely ver¬ satile, Margaret has also served as Mortar Board Vice-President, SGA treasurer, and on T C Staff. With all these activities, she has an average worthy of membership in Phi Kappa Phi. WHO’S WHO • WHO’S WHO • WHO’S WHO • WHO’S WHO WHO’S WHO • WHO’S WHO • WHO’S WHO • WHO’S WHO w Although she spent her senior year disguised as an art major, Carol’s chemistry degree has prepared her for many degree options — den¬ tal school, engineering, or a health-related field. But one option she has already decided on is marriage to Tim, although people kid her about being a dentist named “Dr. Ake.” Carol’s fa¬ vorite phrase is “It’s more fun with two,’’ (Win- nie-the-Pooh) and she has held jobs ranging from renting floats on the beach to doing re¬ search in a parasitology lab. Carol’s activities and awards include SGA Vice President, Mor¬ tar Board, Phi Kappa Phi, Katherine Rogers Memorial Scholarship and Beta Beta Beta. Car¬ ol feels her biggest accomplishment at Wesley¬ an has been to reorganize the Handbook. Mrs. Hueglin, better known for most of her four years at Wesleyan as Lynne Anthoine, knows that she will be remembered for getting married over spring break of her senior year. Now everyone calls her the “old married lady.” Education majors were surprised to see her at the NTE test, but Lynne added teacher certifi¬ cation to her biology major this year. She also served as secretary of Beta Beta Beta and as Banks Dorm President. In 1978, Lynne spent a rewarding and enjoyable summer at the United States Department of Agriculture Fruit and Tree Nut Research Center in Byron, Georgia. Mrs. Hueglin plans to live in Fort Valley with her husband Michael and eventually teach high school science. Lynn nthoine luegli Known to her friends as “Doodle,” Sarah takes pride in the fact that she set a record for spending the most hours in Taylor Hall. She was able to get practical experience in biology by growing baby barley plants in Petri dishes. Active in sports, Sarah has been on the soccer, basketball, and tennis teams and has served as Sports Editor of the “T C” padded cell editorial staff. For four years, since her first famous letter to the editor about Wesleyan’s chipmunks, Sarah’s writing has entertained newspaper readers. Her senior year has found her busy with med school applications and in¬ terviews, and she plans to continue her educa¬ tion in biochemistry and then go into research or teaching. Honors include Beta Beta Beta (president 1978) and Phi Kappa Phi. j- = c Sar hnston Cindi states that her claim-to-fame is the fact that no one besides her roommate has ever seen her study. She certainly keeps busy as CSA president, and in January she pulled off a “One-Woman Show” organizing Mother- Daughter Weekend. Cindi says people kid her about being a walking-talking edition of “The First 143 Years of Wesleyan.” Known to the Lambda Chi Alpha’s at Mercer as the “Wesley¬ an Connection”, Cindi will also be remembered as the first CSA president in recent history to be friends with the SRC President. After work¬ ing for the Governor’s Honors Program for a second summer, Cindi plans to work anywhere except as a Wesleyan admissions counselor and then go to seminary and marry a handsome divinity student. Jeanne Norton Jeanne’s claim-to-fame was her performance as the wizard in freshman stunt “because no¬ body thought I could do it.” Eventually “La Nort” became Executive Stunt Chairperson her senior year. People kid her about keeping the Pizza Hut in business and missing meals. After spending a summer working as a paralegal at Georgia Legal Services, Jeanne decided to pur¬ sue a career in journalism and now plans to attend graduate school at The University of Missouri. A history major, she considers her HIS 399 paper her biggest accomplishment. Jeanne is never able to relax as History-Gov¬ ernment Club President, Mortar Board Presi¬ dent, and Wesleyan Magazine Editor. Recogniz¬ ing her superior work, the campus voted her Wesleyan Woman of the Year 1979. Known for saying, “I’ll pray about it,” Amy says her claim-to-fame is her ability to write a major paper all in one night, beginning at mid¬ night and finishing at 8:15 A.M. She has the distinction of being the best, worst, and only student in her class majoring in English. Amy’s precision driving and sense of direction are hard for riders to forget. She feels that she will be remembered for the 1979 Veterropt , espe¬ cially the mistakes. In addition to the yearbook, she has been busy with Wesleyan Christian Fel¬ lowship, coordinating the Peer Counseling Pro¬ gram, and serving as class secretary without believing in minutes. Honors include being named Outstanding GH in 1978, Mortar Board, and Phi Kappa Phi. Amy plans to attend gra¬ duate school, teach, and write. WHO’S WHO WHO’S WHO • WHO’S WHO • WHO’S WHO WHO’S WHO • WHO’S WHO • WHO’S WHO • WHO’S WHO Who is the only Wesleyanne who compul¬ sively empties her trash cans? Judy Sanders, of course! Judy’s most frequent phrase is certain¬ ly, “I have to talk to you about Honor Court, Dean Schafer!” and she will be remembered for her love of fine jewelry, especially gold and diamonds. People kid Judy about the fact that her clothes hang by height in her closet, but her meticulousness will help in plans for a success¬ ful career. A business major, Judy has been busy with Honor Court, Phi Kappa Phi, and Jones Dorm. She considers her biggest accom¬ plishment at Wesleyan surviving four years of Honor Court and maintaining a 4.0 with Jim Brown as a teacher. Judy plans to work for two years and then enter Harvard, where she has already been accepted. How do you get rid of twenty years of South¬ ern accent? Spend a year in Japan at Interna¬ tional Christian University as Bobbi Watkins did. Known for saying “You Banana!” and for reciting “The Night Before Christmas” in fifty- five seconds (“Please do it, Bobbi!)”, she says people always kid her about how tall she is not Her height has never held her back on the soccer field, where number “Zero”zips around faster than the ball. A business administration major, Bobbi is a member of Mortar Board and Phi Kappa Phi. After leaving Wesleyan and an interesting year as Persons Resident Assistant, Bobbi plans to “serve the Lord either here or abroad.” Her next step in that direction will be attending graduate school in business at the Rose Turner Rose has made her mark at Wesleyan by being the only person to go through Children’s Literature twice of her own free will. Renowned for her “casual’ housekeeping, Rosie Bean’s (the other Bean sister’s) main activity has been serving as Cindi Mercer’s and Sylvia Shirah’s secretary. Rose’s biggest accomplishment has been having a different roommate every year, staying friendly with all of them. An American Studies major, Rose likes to impress people by telling them she used to make bombs. After receiving her M.A. in Library Science, she plans to take little children by the hand and say Let s go find a book.” Rose has served as Junior Stunt Committee Chairman and T C Editor Publisher.

C reating this book has taken more time and thought than any other single thing I have ever done. Every hour I have put into the final product has been valuable for me, and 1 will always appreciate having the opportunity to edit the Veterropt. The experience has taught me many things 1 would never have learned had I not taken the risk of involving myself in such a heavy responsibility. Every min¬ ute may not have been enjoyable (the Veterropt room was not the best place to spend Stunt and Alumnae Weekends), but the satisfaction of fulfilling a commitment is a feeling worth all the sacrifices. The experience did not transform me into an organized person, as I had hoped. I procrastinat¬ ed to the very end, but in spite of late nights, the deadlines were met. The work had a more important effect — it increased my appreciation for Wesleyan College. Reliving the year’s events months after they have passed gives one a unique opportunity to see the advantages of life at Wesley¬ an, and pouring over old Watchtowers and Veterropts causes one to take pride in where we have come from and where we are going. I hope that reliving the places, the times, and the people of this year will help you appreciate your time here to a greater extent, as the pages bring back pleasant memories of 1978-79, when you were a student at the “oldest and best.” Though Ann and 1 have often referred to this book as our “two-woman show,” we both want to thank the staff mem¬ bers who have done all they could to help — Kathy Ray, Cathy Mickler, Carey Cannon, Wanda Maynard, Tammy Grinstead, Jenny Houser, and Marilyn Grant. I also appreci¬ ate the people not on staff who have contributed — Rose Turner for Who’s Who, Carol Freeman for help with the senior class, Mia Kain for pictures, and Katherine and Robbie for sports information. Margaret Dilbeck and Don¬ nie Powell have been wonderful with the mixed-up money situation, and I am grateful for their time and the contribu¬ tions of our many patrons. Last but most important are the moral builders and tireless workers without whom this an¬ nual would not be possible. I thank Dale Bennett for his encouragement and sense of humor, Bud Paine for his patience and personal support, Cindy McMullen for a lis¬ tening ear. and my family who has lived directly with this chaos during the last month and still continues to love me. As for Ann Haslam. all I can say is that without her depend¬ ability ana optimism 1 would have never gotten through. The Lord has blessed me in this experience, and He has been my source of strength and hope in this work, as in my entire life. We hope you enjoy this book. In last minute rushes, so much has to be omitted that should be remembered. Some¬ times the pages are just not large enough. But we leave with you our best effort, and one final quote from the 1929 Veterropt: “Herein you may behold some of the brighter scenes selected from innumerable charming pictures of these days.” Amy Miller, Editor June, 1979 ...The ERB. if ' !
