Agnes Scott College - Silhouette Yearbook (Decatur, GA)

Page 27 text:

WE came into existence a perfectly huge class, but for awhile we ourselves were far from knowing it — in fact, each thought she must be the only lonely Freshman in the great Agnes Scott world. If the Sophomores had not been so kind as to label us, I fear we would never have recognized on all sides friends in misery. At length, but too late to prevent castor oil and other terrible calamities, we united into a machine of war, — formidable enough to give even an impudent Sophomore night-mares ! But alas, the age for brutal strength has passed, and there was no time left for us to collect our wits and win the black cat. Even this blow, however, could not mar our beaming smiles and by the end of the basket-ball season the Freshmen had manufactured a new philosophy: It is funnier to be laughed at than to laugh at; it is more fun to be beat than to beat ! Moreover, sad adversity has united us more than perfect success ever could. Forever and ever, next to dear old Agnes Scott, we shall love our class. We have just begun our quest for precious knowledge, so by the time we ' re all-mighty Seniors our grandmothers and sister Juniors shall be glad of their kindness. Sophomores repent of their cruelty; and the Seniors pride themselves that they were models for such perfection! — Elizabeth Allen, ' 20. tirwMianMirrtfri Pape Ttventy-One

®l|p iifmnru lonk of a iFr Bl|man lis neatly bound, and gay. With edge of shining gold; And it holds the sign of many a day. The memories that never grow old. A Freshman ' s heart it reveals — The joys and sorrows together — The bonds that hold her loyal — The ties that naught can sever. Time-table, and ticket, and check For baggage, and maybe receipt — These now the first pages deck. ' Twas the first time her trembling feet From the much-loved home did go Far away ivithout guide or companion In body and mind for to groic. There are cards and favors of proms ; Souvenirs of the first happy week; There are tickets of Movies and lecture programs Where this Freshman did -joyfully seek To beguile and distract her much troubled mind From lessons and duties oppressing That pleasure would fain leave behind. Perhaps there ' s a summons recorded To meet with the Justice — Exec Perhaps there are failures — so hopelessly ivotdcd That all her high hopes seem to wreck. Oh! many and varied, the contents of a F?-eshman ' s Memory Book That record joy and fear of that first college year As on toivard the next one ive look. IMarion Stewart Harper, ' 20. Page Twenty-Two
