T YOU WILL ' FIND EVIDENCE OF A r IN PROGRESS READJUSTMENT, iPERITY, HAPPI- ICAN WAY OF DFT SOUTHERN -«+ ' ?] DEDICATED TO W. E. DOC GLENN To wide-eyed freshmen he is the mysteiious po ver behind the glassed-in doors marked Registrar. To omniscient sophomores he is the essence of a typical col- lege professor, a perfect combination of the philosophical and witty, the intelligent and inspiring. To ambitious juniors he is the man who points the way to the stars. To humble, experienced seniors he is a life-long friend, con- fidant, and trustee of their toil, their hopes, their ambitions. To the thousands of Southern graduates who have walked through Munger ' s doors during his twenty-one years on the Hill he is the man they first remember when you mention Cat ' s Paw, Sadie Hawkins Day, astronomy, math, engineering. His interests and activities have no boundaries, his energies no limits, his contagious humor finds no immunities. Because he is so much a part of otu ' college life and because we find words a poor tribute, we gratefully and affectionately make this dedication. ■ ke yvdmlmdif ' auon The high command . . . the eternally opened doors ... a friendly smile from the glassed-in rooms . . . fee receipts . . . you are requested to see the Dean ... an avalanche of no- tices . . . quiet, calm guiding of confused registrants . . . lower division requirements . . . probation lists . . . words of advice . . .

STUARl -7L PRESIDENT One has to go no farther than the President to find the keynote of Birmingham-Southern —friendliness, ability, leadership. To the hundreds of alumni and civic associates with whom he works, Jack Stuart is a recognized educational and civic leader. To all the students he is not only the college ' s capable and respected chief administrator but a personal friend. You can find him in the Bookstore adding his two-bits worth to a faculty-student bull ses- sion, or in the Cellar mixing coffee with good humor and brainy talk. When you meet him on the campus he can call you by your first name. When he takes to the lectern at Munger, he doesn ' t lecture, he just talks the kind of talk that students understand. The sound of his booming voice coming through the panelled walls and glass doors of the office marked President has a reassuring quality. You know that behind that voice is a man with strength, abili ty, and foresight, under whose leadership the college will steadily grow to greater heights. Dr. Henry T. Shanks Dean of the College Through his doors have passed the majority of students — for ad- vice, for praise and encouragement or gentle chiding. He is the important link between student and professor, student and home, student and the long card marked permanent record . He is also the students ' best friend, loved, admired, and respected by every goggle-eyed freshman and harried senior. Their only regret is that administrative duties keep him from teaching more history classes. Francis P. Gaines Dean of Men No job too big for his lofty height and tremendous ability, Mr. Gaines oversees fraternity functions, is Assistant to the President, keeps track of organi- zations, is faculty advisor to the Execu- tive Council and the publications, coach- es a championship tennis team, and fur- thermore, delivers lively lectures on American history. Mary Holmes Sensabaugh Dean of Women Friendly, vivacious, energetic, Mrs. Sensabaugh directs the women ' s activities on the Hilltop. The dormitory and Stockham her ciomain, she quietly man- ages resident women, and weathers the 5torm of rushing and receptions with greatly admired ability and charm. Ne-wman M. Yeilding Treasurer Robert W. Walston Bursar The financial brain trust for the college, Mr. Yeilding and Mr. Walston plan and execute the school ' s economy with the tops in administrative skill. With expansion on next year ' s program and finances in their capable hands, the forecast for the future may safely be written in gold. Ufa I }CLence6 Supervised by W. A. Whiting, Professor of Biology, and ably assist- ed by Geraldine, this department expanded this year to the new North Hall, and threatened the invasion of the Social Sciences and Humanities on three sides of the camptis.

Under the direction of Dorsey Whittington (top, center), and Mrs. Frances Whittington (top, right) the Conservatory has carved a solid niche for itself in educational and cultinal circles of the city and in the college. Efforts to teach good music in both schools dovetail, and are furthered by Ernest Eniti (top, left); Stephen Dill (bottom, left), vho is also director of the College Orchestra; Ackley Brower, lecturer in Theory; and Martha Dick McClung.

THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Executive Council saw to it that El- bert ' s energetic freshmen were well oriented and welcomed at an all-cam- pus gym party. Councilors Bill Acker and Ruth Shapard helped stage the Southern Accent Beauty Ball. When winter came, Zic wasn ' t far behind. The new president created quite a stir by introducing voting ma- chines into Hilltop election days — as if the campaigns weren ' t sensational enough. All year long Bern Calderbank and company slaved over the constitution. Their revised version will permit more student participation, cut out a lot of red tape and bottlenecks and provide a more efficient and effective govern- ment. GOVERNMENT The Hilltop Honor Council reflected in its membership and activities the long-established tradition of vork vith honor which has become a cemented facet of Hilltop life. Led by Bill Acker, president, the Council helped to supervise student elections, and student activities. They carried out the task of acquainting each Hilltopper with the provisions of the Honor Code by explaining the code to freshmen at orientation and by having each student sign the honor pledge.

Cross, Barnes, Shiigcrman, Day, Hughes, Jackson, lewis. Brown, Cun- iiiff, Dovel, Grace, Kt)binson, The woes and avails of the editor were many. There were all sorts of problems to publishing a yearbook which one, just entering the business, Avould never dream of. The job of collecting wheels and just plain people for pictures, long and late evenings at the engravers, harried con- ferences with the staff, hours and hours hammering out copy on the ' trusty Royal, and the ever-present deadlines. The end of the year brought rueful glances at report cards. Sharing the burden of both work and play on the editorial side were Joe Ctui- niff, Anne Lewis, and Bib Hughes, who covered the sports field with an eye for news-makers; Donald Deagon and Stony Jackson, who chased down Greek re- porters for that section; Ruth Shapard, Roddy Cross, and Jimmy St. John, vho handled the tedious job of collecting and arranging names, pictures and data for the class section; Kathelyn Day, who labored long hours on second floor Munger getting the last word on organ- izations; and Daphna Barnes, who kept her fingers keyed to the typewriter and S.A. copy. Dave Shugerman and his trusty Speed Graphic were steadily at work for months, foctising their atten- tion on every phase of Hilltop life. The majority of pictures in this book are his skilled handiwork. Beating the streets of Birmingham for backers in the book were Ogle and his trustees, Dudley Dovel, Morwenna Rob- inson, Charlie Brown, and Bob Grace. Thanks to them the monthly reports to the P-B were favorable in a year when operating costs climbed relentlessly up and out-of-bounds. The 1948 Accent reflects more than just a year on the Hill. It is the offer- ing laid by the staff upon an altar of hard labor, cooperation, friendly asso- ciations, and the tmtold headaches of the fourth estate. SOUTHERN ACCENT (L diior ELSA ALLCOOD Dropping her Yankee brogue, Elsa took an intensive course in the crea- tion of a Southern Accent. Adopting tlie traditional diet o£ coftee, she beat a steady jjath around the edi- torial circuit and managed to keep her wires connected to the AOPi ' s, IRC ' s, basketball court, and the his- tory department. Her greatest joy — synchronized activities; her constant enemy — Time. K:l uiiiteii anaqer JIMMY OGLE The T-formation backed up the labors of advertising tycoon. Ogle, who kept a line drawn straight across the Accent ' s debits and credits. Fi- nancial demands of an inflationary year kept him knocking on the doors of Birmingham businessmen, and his successful balancing act brought plau- dits from all departments. His pet theory — a little hard work; his basic philosophy — but you gotta have fun. 3. HILLTOP The staff -was ahvays large but come Tuesday noon typists covild not be found nor were reporters available. There were always a few old faithfuls though vho Avould dig up something to write for the weekly reviews. Phyllis and then Dottie always had social ne ' ws, and Joe Cunniff or Coker vould come through with the sports. As long as Johnson had a right arm, he ' d turn in Impressions, and Ogle was good for a rather lousy column inconsistently. Jimmie Nell did lots of typing and of course Marilynn held up the business staff single-handed. Shug Tvould keep his camera going -when and if the bud- get warranted it. To keep the record clear Foss came through regularly with a financial report fi ' om the Exec Coun- cil vhich no one would read. The office ' as grand central station for gym parasites and telephone users, for the Book Exchange and money changers. We all learned a lot about column inches, ems and type, about campus doings and recurrent problems. It vas all reflected in some thirty-five issues, good, bad, and indifferent — the product of a weekly grind vhich man- aged to be harrowing, but pleasant and profitable. Seated, left to right — Cooper. Edwards. Doerr. Standing — Row 1, Martin. Lewis, McDonald, Paxton, Brentzel, Stacey, Kidd, Sutton. Roju 2, Boutwell, Coker, Shugerman, Brown, Foss, Howard. NEWS JACK EDWARDS tof It was tough mapping layouts and counting the inches week by week, typing, and rewriting so that the radia- tors would not be empty on Fridays, but Jack managed to do it with nothing lost but hours of sleep, perhaps a grade average, and many handsful of hair. Between the HTN and Theta Chis across the hall, and enough history courses to make a mule stagger, he learned the ins and outs of editing, pass- ing the bitter-sweet knowledge on to the student body in columns of well- planned, well-written type. usii ' iess anaaer MARILYNN COOPER Like a high-powered dynamo, Mari- lynn spent fruitful energy in pyramid- ing ads for the HTN, until the balance of trade -ivas well in her favor. A super- efficient executive she straightened out the files and accounts and kept the busi- ness end of the News is ship-shape order. When she wasn ' t chasing down a pros- pective advertiser you could find her soliciting world federalists or promot- ing a campaign for the betterment of her long list of organizations. Her flam- ing hair became a symbol of action. ke aSSeS Blue Monday . . . hot summer days spent in sultry classrooms War of the Roses . . . amo, amas, amat . . .

(Top left) That eight o ' clock class! It took a good professor to make you laugh. (Top yiglit) The conference room. Cig- arettes and easy chairs and loud disserta- tions on whatever came up for testing that day. {Bottom left) Noon, and the cafeteria — the line — the quest for vitamins a la black-eyed peas and cornbread. [Bottom right) Fifteen minutes ping- pong. It kept you on the ball. 2)a, IN THE LIFE OF A SENIOR - ' i {Top right) Two p.m. and office fiouis with your advisor.

The Cellar, for coffee and the latest dope on books, art, and the nature of things. {Bottom left) Four p.m. means sorority meeting. Closed doors, ritual, plans, and friendship, an integral part of the day and this life. {Bottom right) Nine p.m. and the gym transformed by a ceiling of crepe paper and milling crowds of couples and stags. You two-step and tango to blaring trum- pets and forget it ' s not Always. ' ■ ■ Top Row. Acton Second Row: R. V. Anderson Bottom Roiv: Bell Allgood Arnett Brandes L. Anderson Baker Brice P.

OMICRON DELTA KAPPA ODK tapping in the Spring again brought together the Hilltop ' s BMOC s who had proved to the campus that they were worthy of the honor bestowed upon them. With the honor of membership in this national honor fraternity came the re- sponsibility for carrying out its program of social and scholastic events through- out the year. Besides private smokers and bull sessions, ODK met with Mor- tar Board and a factilty conmiittee to discuss possibilities for improvement of Southern ' s scholastic average, co-spon- sored a Spring tea with Mortar Board, and cooperated fully with the Student Life committee and the Executive Council in reorganizing the student gov- ernment. Sealed, left to rig it— Brittain, Whitehead, McNamee, Hutchine. Standing— UoUis, Lewis, Stone. Brandes. Enghsh. Allgood, Hughes, Stinson, MORTAR BOARD Nine ivere added to the ranks of Mor- tar Board ivhen the Scroll came do vn la.st Spring, revealing the names of the Junior -ivomen ivho had proved them- selves vorthy of the honor by making an outstanding record in scholarship, leadership and service through three years of the Hill. Ably led by Sue McNamee. Mortar Board continued its service program, sponsorship of a Cellar hour, and joined forces with ODK and a faculty committee to discuss - ' ays of improv- ing scholarship and easing the student ' s burden of extracurricular activities. The joint ODK — Mortar Board tea, tapping for Alpha Lambda Delta, fresh- man women ' s honor society, and its own tapping ceremonies were features of the Spring cjuarter. Sealed, left to right — Stinson, Brandes. Glenn. Standing — Ferguson. Marietta, Hastings, Harper, Allison, Kirby.

Their weekly meetings in Stockham have become noted for inter- esting, worthwhile programs and speakers plus the best in refresh- ments. Discussions afterward were wonderful experiences for minis- terial students and just plain students who came to listen and learn. First Row, left to right — O ' Steen, Ferguson, Glenn, White, Real. Second Row — Chambers, Henley, BeneCield. Ogle, Fowler, Vincent, Brown, Gilmore. BAPTIST STUDENT UNION Although naturally outnumbered by Methodists, these brave Baptists banded together again. Kyle Glenn presided over their meet- ings in Waters Chapel. The Chapel, located in Student Activities Building, is completely equipped and decorated even to a stained glass window. Other officers are Bill Ferguson, vice-president; Polly White, secretary; and Harry McNeel, faculty advisor. On Floor, left to right — Hughes, Hale, McDonald, Stinson, Stone, Smith, Brandes.

New students vere honored at a Welcoming Banquet, and mem- bers gathered at Double Oak Mountain again for a retreat. Such enthusiastic vorkers as Sue Pal Santmyer, Joe Kennedy, and Mary Farr Stone were leaders of young Birmingham Methodists. The group also worked Avith and for the young people at the college church, McCoy Memorial. I-i)Sl lldir, left to riglil — Hagekon, Powell, .Miaiinon.

Christmas boxes were sent to our soldiers who vould be on the Hi h Seas at Christmas. Many young ladies perfected their technique at meal planning through the nutrition program. The Annual Fund Drive was well supported by the students, also the project of sending writing supplies to the students in schools of Europe.

NDEPENDENT WOMEN Stockham ' s basement was the scene of Independent Women ' s activity al- though you could nearly always find an Independent or two in the Gym. Volleyball and ping pong cups were added to an already loaded collection. Basketball laurels were just missed in a playoff with AOPi and Pi Phi. Irene Gulledge and Bib Hughes lived up to the Independents ' sporting tradi- tion by being named Athlete of the Year and Senior Manager, respectively. Irene and Ellen Williams, their presi- dent, were among the top ten high point women. Ellen and Tony Rizzo sang in the May Day Chortis, while Frances Nor- ton and Ann Flemming contributed their time and talent to the College Theater. As a group the girls vorked on Cat ' s Paw, Sadie Hawkins, and the Christmas Carnival Parade. Speaking of Christmas, the Independ- ent Room boasted a real tree and decora- tions for their annual Christmas party. Lucky ladies, Leticia Hernandez and Joyce Sassaman, were treated to surprise birthday parties. Even though Facidty Advisor Coach Ben Englebert wasn ' t on hand, it was a really great year, Independently speaking. ORCHESTRA Under the direction of Steplren Dill, the College Orchestra con- tintied to gro v in size and inipro e in performance. Its regular appearances in the atiditoriimi pit during Con oca- tion added much to the all-school programs. In addition its members cooperated with the music department and college theater in providing music for concerts and shows. Many of its members took part in chamber music concerts and in making up the full orchestra of Starlight Opera. Some were music majors on the Hill and at the Conser atory. Others contributed their time and talent extra-ciuTictdarly. All, though, had in common a real love of music and a desire to share it with others. !1. COLLEGE CHOIR The famed Hilltop Choir reached a new high in per- formance and reputation this year under the direction of Raymond Anderson. Following a concert-packed schedule to all parts of Ala- bama, they carried good mu- sic to the people in the dis- tinctive Anderson style. In the Magic City their tal- ents were used to aid the col- lege in its Joint Drive with Howard for building funds. On campus the Choir was ready with music for every major function from the Beau- ty Parade to Religious Em- phasis Week. The annual tour took the group through North Florida for seven concerts in five days, and the Ensemble covered South Alabama with as many concerts in four days. Already recognized as one of the top college choirs in the nation, Southern ' s choral unit seemed to be sitting pretty on the top rung. The campus is proud of it — with reason. DIRECTORS Raymond F. Anderson (right) and his assistant, James Hatcher, led the College Choir tmougti a rigorous schedule in ' 48. It was Anderson ' s tenth year on the Hill, and his skillful direction and planning were reflected in the per- fection of the choir. IL COLLEGE THEATRE The dramatic touch was definitely evident on the Hill this year in talent onstage and behind the scenes. Fall founcl the Thespians produc- ing Playboy ot the Western World in true Kilarney manner. Leading the cast were Hubert Harper, Ann Coats, and Vic Moore. Costuming was ably handled by Ruth Shapard, assistecl by Sue Wil- kins. Props were the personal worry of Pat Brittain, while [immy Johnson pulled the back-stage strings and made the wires connect on the elec- trical system. Specialists from the Art Depart- ment gave a skilled touch to the scenery, and with the help of scores of others the College Theatre pro- ductions consistently maintained a reputation of finish and near-perfec- tion. Home of theatricals on the Hill, the Stud-ac Building sheltered the theater ' s personal pioperty as well as lending its halls lor rehearsals, par- ties, painting, and carpentering. Dr. Ab in the direc- tor ' s cliair guided and developed the dramatic talent of Hilltop troupers. His quarter ' s leave of ab- sence was keenly felt in this department where in- terest in the production of good drama has grown through the years under his dirction. The 1947-48 College Theater was supervised Ijy student officers, C. M. Dendy, president; Anne Lewis, vice-president; and Pat Brittain, secretary. They bore the burdens of rosters, tickets, tryouts, publicity, bills and bal- ancing books. Below, Dr. .Abernethy explains a tine point in dramatics to Vic Moore and .Aim Coats. Below, right, Norma Zachry gives the word to Linwood Underwood, while Jimirry Johnson and part of the back-stage cast await directions. MU ALPHA It would be impossible to list here all the activities of Mti Alpha during 1948. This group of young mtisicians tnider the direction of James Hatcher took the vhole town in their stride. They re-organized and sponsored the Ushers Club (opposite page), built a record library and listen- ing room, and presented music concerts and recitals throughout the year. Of special interest were student recitals in May during the Festival of the Allied Arts. A drive for ne v members and aliunni rounded out the most progressive and fruit- ful year in the society ' s history. Mu Alpha members caroled (above) at Loveman ' s during the Christmas Holidays.

USHERS CLUB ANDREWS Known as the Roost, Andrews Hall sits atop the highest peak on Enon Ridge and is home to all the fiurin gals who mark their time on the Hill. Mrs. Florida Sherrod and Mrs. Walter Booker tend to their wants, listen to their troubles, and keep the dorm operating on schedule. No easy task, they are aided by the dorm coinicil, (left), the sec- ond estate in Andrews ' hierarchy. Each bore the burdens of her sec- tion of the dorm. (From left to right), Naomi Webb, Evelyn Brown, Jo Sansome, and Ruth Myers. The second date parlor, (below), was a favorite gathering place particularly when Poncy Brock was at the piano. There were gala evenings of singing for all, or a two- some on Chopsticks, or Chopin, Gershwin, and plenty of Johnny Merceh. Five-part harmony was made this time by Pat Brittain, Poncy Brock, Ruth McAdams, Jo Sansome, and Peggy McDonald. A card table wasn ' t necessary furniture, but cards were, and any time after 5 p.m. you could find the sharks indulging in bridge, or if energy permitted, in Slap.

' s lived up to their reputation of being the leaders on the Hill. They excelled in athletic, scholastic, and social activities, and every important event had one or more A.T.O. ' s helping to put it over. Those A.T.O. jaarties became justly famous and the boys ' Monte Carlo, Double Oak, and Florida parties set the pace for the campus social season. In athletics, too, the Maltese Cross placed right at the top with highly successful baseball, football, and track seasons. The Alpha Tau ' s still found time to conduct a rewarding rush season, meet with out-of-town brothers, and plan the annual state conclave. The A.T.O. ' s were key men on the campus and their energy forwarded many projects. John Jeff became a member of O.D.K. and was chairman of the Cellar Committee. C. M. Dendy wrote and directed the winning Cats Paw stunt beside holding the gavel of the College Theater presidency. Fred Sherrill and Bob Grace managed the newly organized Stu- dent Book Exchange and Charlie Horn j)roved highly efficient in his duties as Stu- dent Chairman of the Red Cross. Publications held interest for many of the brothers. Jim- mie Ogle stepped from his position as News Editor for the Hilltop News to Business Man- ager of the Southern Accent, while Sports Editor, Joe Cunniff found time to play foot- ball and be Mr. Hilltopper, and Bill Johnson held down positions of H.T.N.

It has been a year full of activity and par- ticipation for all ineml)ers. as in(li idiials as well as a fraternity. Under the able leadership of president Gary Dobbs. the Delta Sigs have made considerable progress in the year past. The Delta Sigs social season got under way with a whirl of rush parties that netted twenty pledges. From then on the socials got bigger and better, . mong others, there was the Halloween party given by the pledges in honor of the actives. There was the An- nual ShijDwreck ball, the annual Houseparty and Christmas dance. This year the fraternity celebrated its Founders Day in conjunction with the Delta Sig Chapter at the Uni- versity. The Banquet was held at the McAllister Hotel in Tuscaloosa on December 10th, and included among the speakers for the evening was Delta Sig Roderick Beddow. After the banquet the Beta Delta Chapter was the guest of the University Chapter at their frater- nity house for a house dance. As usual the Annual Spring Formal was one of the best of the year. The original decorations, always a must for the Delta Sigs, went to make the dance an outstanding occasion. The Delta Sigs went out for other activities besides socials hoivever. Each member went afar, and attained his own laurels. Vice President Willard Stony Jack- son was elected President of the Inter-Fraternity Coun- cil and also served as assistant manager of the newly- formed Book Exchange. Stony was also active in ath- letics and everything else that the fraternity partici- pated in. Politico Donald Deagon was elected to membership in ODK and took over as secretary of the Inter-Frater- nity Council as well as the fraternity. Donald was also active in lioth school puljlications and other cam- l)us organizations including the College Theater. Ernie Jones also was active in the College Theatre, and Ed Elam took a prominent place in the Choir. Bill Morton never missed a chance to go to a campus social, and R. B. Norton never missed a football game. Treasurer Charles Carter managed to keep the books well balanced during the year and even came up with a surplus. Don Culley of the faculty became an active Delta Sig in ' 47, and he was a great asset to the fraternity as he helped the group in many ways. Barracks upper C became the site of Delta Sig meetings and was also the living quarters of many of the brothers, as the inevitable radio station took over the room in the Student Activities Building. Socials, sports, increased membership, new living ([uarters, new faculty memljers. new honors; they all add up to a great year indeed for Beta Delta of Delta Sigma Phi. Governing body in a gay mood.

The goals set up by the Grand ' Ole Gang were met quite success- fully in scholarship, athletics, and social life, and high standards they were. Undoubtedly the greatest event in the K.A. year was the acquisition of a homestead at 831 8th Court West. The house immediately became not only a home but the seat of the K.A. ' s spirit The Sons of the South were led through the year ' s activities imder the guidance of Ed Iron Hand Bagley who in his number-one capacity showed the way through a successful year. He was ably assisted by vice-president Peaches Taylor and secretary Bill Travis. Guy Tutwiler performed gallantly the duties of arm twister or treasurer. In Southern ' s Vorld of Sports the K.A. ' s wielded quite a bit of influence. The pen- nants for tennis, football, softball, horseshoes and more, continued to clutter the already bedecked walls of K.A. mansion. The foot- ball season was highlighted by the 19-6 defeat of the Sewanee Champs. As far as scholar- ship went, those honors also migrated K.A. way rather consistently. The annual ball honoring the birthday of Robert E. Lee was festive as usual. There were numerous good times at the new house although none quite lived up to the Bum party of the Thanksgiving holidays. The houseparty at Peyton Higginson ' s in Mobile was without doubt the most talked about af- fair of the year. Seventy strong, the Kappa Alpha boys showed their stuff in 1947-1948. It was sad!

Under the leadership of the new president, Steve Downs, progress was made in all phases of fraternity activity. High among the activities developing in the Lambda Chi ' whitehouse were the chap- ter socials. The winter and spring quarters saw several house parties, the annual Found- ers ' Day dance, and the inauguration of a program for honoring campus sororities. During the summer the members took their guests to such pleasant retreats as the Cahaba River, Tapawingo, Pine View Beach, and the home of Commander McElvain. When school reopened in September, social chair- man Bill Enloe started a series of social events of a very novel character. Their success is still being praised. Meanwhile the chapter has not been idle among the more serious aspects of camp ' s life. Under the leadership of such students as Dick Blanton, Roy Howard, Bill Low, and John Pool, the chapter has maintained a high scholastic average, and expects to offer con- siderable competition for the new scholar- ship cup during 1948. In other activities M. L. Gunnin has served as president of the In- terfraternity Council; John Pool has served three quarters on the Executive Council; five members— Phil Berry, Bill Enloe, Tommy Peterson, Rollin Roberts, and Bob Smith- has parts in the winning drama at Catspaw. But to top them all, the fraternity gave its production at Interfraternity Sing clad in T- shirts and tux pants, much to the mixed con- cern and admiration of the audience. In athletics the chapter did not always stand high in the win c olumn, but it never failed to put a spirited team on the field. And in 140-pound Buck Julian, Lambda Chi claims one of the best-liked and most capable athletes on the campus. Good leadership by house managers Mac Hall and Eddie Self in the meantime have provided Lambda Chis and their friends with the best meals on the campus, and have made the house the center of real fraternity fun and friendship.

The Delta Chapter here on the Hilltop joined Alabama ' s other three Pi Kappa Alpha Chap- ters and made it another great year for the Shield and Diamond. The Pikes led off the year winning the In- terfraternity Sing trophy, which is getting to be a tradition around these parts. How could they miss with a College Choir, three fourths of which were PiKA ' s and such crooners as Hunter, Turner, Cameron, and Elgin. Godwin, a permanent fixture in ODK, saw three of his brothers, Calderbank, Harper, and Dillard, move in and join him in the local circle. Calderbank also outclassed all opponents to win a Men ' s Upper Division berth. Socially speaking, the Pikes were tops. With such parties as hayrides to Cosby and Pearl Lake, picnics at Tapawingo, a Gay 90 ' s party, a barbecue at Brother Rogers ' house, stag banquets at the Jack O ' Lantern, and those dine and dance evenings at the Miami Club, not to mention informals at Highland Park. On the athletic field the Pikes were well represented. There was Dillard on the Var- sity Tennis Team, Carlton and Green, Var- sity Basketball, Sutherland, All Star Basket- ball and Football, Hammett and Carlton, All Star Softball, Brown, winner of the Intra- mural Tennis tournament and Upton, Champ Horseshoe tosser. Prexy Elmo Chambers and his boys again inaugurated the dance season with their an- nual Garnet and Gold Ball with Dot Thompson as their leading lady. Underwood emceed the Sadie Hawkins Day Program and also managed the stage for Cat Paw. Coker, on the Hilltop News staff, handled the Sports Department. The Cook brothers went to New York for a radio show, Alexander held down the College Theater during Dr. Ab ' s absence. Meacham made Mu Alpha on a piano solo, and all the boys pitched in and the result was thirteen new pledges in the Fall. If it weren ' t for space limitations here, this list of honors would go on and on. We must stop somewhere. As you can see the PiKA ' s carried off honors in every field. Different era— same appeal.

A. Abie Trent, sparking the drive. The pledge class, meanwhile, made plans for redecoration of the fraternity cubicle in the gym. Sports saw fine participation with Williams high point man in Football. The invincible swim team led by Craig Mitchell carried off the 1947 pennant, taking all but one event, and the volleyball team with all-over-the- court Bouffard, proved forbidable. The annual Double Oak Mountain house party outdid its predecessors for sunburn and hilarity. ( Lover Cowles was missed this year). Climaxing the social season in May, the Orchid Formal surpassed all dances for beauty of decoration and good music. Most sincerely appreciated compliment was, Why it didn ' t look like the gym at all! With an eye to the public, Norton received plaudits as President of the Student Body, while Foo Foo Foss held down treasurer ' s seat on the Executive Council. In scholarship the Sons of Minerva ranked high. Competing with one-hundred and eighteen other chapter of SAE, Alabama Iota tied with Pennsylvania Omega at Allegheny College for the National Fraternity Scholar- ship cup. High in leadership too were James Seay, new initiate of ODK, and Elbert Norton, selected for Who ' s Who in American Colleges. The long awaited revival of the Alabama Iota Items, occasional publication of the chap- ter, was greeted with enthusiasm, and alumni who were featured seemed pleased. Riggs Stephenson, past E.A., and Henrietta Villines took the big step and then moved to Tuscaloosa to live happily ever . . . . The fraternity played host to Chapter Su- pervisor Al Schoth and assistant A. C. Holler during the year and received helpful hints. All Sleep and Eat men look forward to the coming Founder ' s Day banquet to be attended by brothers from over the state. All are cognizant of their part in a bigger, better SAE.

Mixed in with athletics and rushing, the Theta Chi ' s feel justly proud of the work accomplished throughout the year. After rushing, the Ox-Men settled down to the hard work that precedes an annual dance. Opening the winter season, the dance ieatined a revolving glass ball, the names of all in the leadout flashing on as they ajspeared, and, of course, the Dream Girl set. Afterwards the Ox-Men went to the Cavu Club for their annual breakfast, where President Bert Brad- ley presented Richard McLendon, past presi- dent with a key in recognition of his fine work The Tenth Annual Rebel Reunion, the Terrific Tenth , that is, welcomed delegates from all the Theta Chi chapters in this dis- trict. In addition. National President Earl Dusty Rhodes and Regional Counselor Roy Grizzell were present among many dignitaries. The banquet and dance high-lighted the weekend where brothers united in fun and friendship. In the party line, there ' s that Halloween affair at Witch ' s End where spooks abounded and fun was supreme. Hayrides put a lot of life in the year, too. Camp Cosby was in- evitably the scene of these attractions. And, of course, the rush parties won ' t easily be for- gotten. Progressive dinners, banquets, in- formal dances, stag parties, and masquerades were the standouts of the year. Forward strides were made in athletics and scholarship also. The brothers of Theta Chi played football, basketball, volley ball, and Softball with added relish this year, and all the other odds and ends of intramural sports were participated in by those who felt ath- letically inclined. Members made it a point to make better grades throughout the year, too, and pulled up the fraternity average consider- ably. OX-ing: The costume that Joe D ' Accardi rigged up for the Halloween party took the ]3roverbial cake . . . Gene Aromi and Vince Roepke get this year ' s award for brotherly love. There wasn ' t a hayride all year where they weren ' t driving the trucks . . . John Evans kept saying before each game, I can ' t play football today. He played! . . . Hubert Snow ' s marriage to Helen Hassler brought out the crowd. And you should have seen the decorations on that honeymoon car . . .

We all got a large charge when Stuart Nicholson finally made a two- pointer in a basketball game . . . Leroy Whited finally gave Baby Milstead a ring last Christmas . . . Buck Rivas surprised every- one including himself by passing everything . . . And the Ox-men lived up to expectations and spent the best year thus far seen on this Old Hilltop.

President, Marty Stinson and alumna, Dot Thompson went to Canada for the National Convention. Some of the girls marched down the aisle to the tune of Here Comes the Bride namely Aline Anderson and Lib Moore. We were proud at placing first in scholarship and at winning Catspaw. Everywhere we looked we saw Alpha Chi ' s go- ing to different honorary societies and clubs; Marty Stinson and Mary Whitehead to Mor- tar Board, Thelma Paxton to Theta Sigma Lambda and Alpha Lambda Delta, and Lib Moore to Delta Phi Alpha. Mu Alpha claimed Helen Chandler, Emily Wright and Poncy Brock as did Chi Nu Tau for Aline Ander- son. We led a hard and fast life during Rush Season, with parties and classes confusing the issue. The Gay Nineties Party in Mr. Ander- son ' s Studio with Marty Stinson, Eunice Mitchell, Helen Chandler, and Miriam Wild- er as Can-can girls was a big success. As was the Monte Carlo Party at the home of Joy Barnhart and the Spaghetti Supper at Marydean Westbrook ' s. The Annual Banquet was held at the Molton Hotel on Founder ' s Day, October 15. We were proud of the girls ■who took part in the Christmas Carnival. These were Marilyn Boutwell, Audrey Brown, Inez Wise, Thelma Paxton, Dudley Dovel, and Marty Stinson. Things we saw and liked during the year: Nelda Nail, Poncy Brock, and Emily Wright going to orchestra; Helen Chandler and Sara Mills playing the piano; Martha Holley and Kathelyn Day in a stew because the Cafeteria had good food; Mary Ann Hall and Ann Shields going home to cook Bill and Lewis dinner; Joy Barnhart and Eunice Mitchell going to the River; Sara Compton and Willine Paxton forever in the bookstore; Betty Sullivan introducing every one to her well-known and good looking brother; and Miriam Wilder trying to make the Banquet a big success. Congratulations to all new officers; we know they ' ll be a success. Some good times have been had by all of us and we are looking forward to another year just as happy On your Mark! After your Man!

The basketball trophy was theirs again with Bowers and Allgood claiming all-star rank. Patsy Collins spiked enough volleyballs to join its all-star team, and Ruth Harris proved her versatility in every sport of the year. The gym played host to others too: Mari- lynn Cooper on the business end of the Hill- top News displayed her talent so well that she weathered the battery of elections to hold office for another year. Prexy Allgood kept her company in the neighboring office grind- ing out copy for the Accent. Then there was Mr. Hilltopper to produce for the benefit of Kentucky ' s Frontier Nurs- ing Service. A tremendous success, it marked the debut of a new campus comedy act, the AOPi Kitty Hill Four. Dramatically speaking, they bolstered the ranks of the College Theater. Ruth Shapard guarded the wardrobe while Peggy Malloy, Kitty Holder, and Pat Bowers took the bows. Peggy Greenhill, Kitty Holder, and Sara LeSueur traveled and soloed with the Choir while Montana, back from the West, fid- dled her way into orchestral groups. Everyone was busy. Norma Ham reigned in the Cellar, Ernestine Chappie secretaried for Gaines on second-floor Munger, Betty Lois Arnett supervised the Y.W.C.A., and Jinnnie Nell Real held a chair on the Exec- utive Council. The social side was hardly lacking with a trip to Cooper ' s camp, the Christmas dance complete with Santa Claus, suppers in the room, and of course, the annual ball. Being Leap Year there were pins, rings, and wedding bells in profusion. Merlee Sears got a head start in December, followed by Julia Smallman and Leona Lasater. Peggy Greenhill planned for June and Ruth Harris for the Fall. The accent for AOPi was broad this year. It came all the way from Montana, Wiscon- sin, North Carolina, South Alabama, and met in glory atop Enon Ridge. Deal risht to the rushees!

Remember how proud we were of our beautiful new room last September? It couldn ' t have been better for informal parties, luncheons and just plain gab sessions all year long. Perhaps not spotless at all times. To show our little sisters how proud we were of them, we gave a banquet at the Ridgley. Sharing hon- ors were the new initiates. The actives presented each honoree with a corsage of pink carnations. The pledges were further nitroduced to the order at our annual Founder ' s Day Celebration, on November 11. We were happy to see so many of our Jinie graduates and newlymarrieds there. Mrs. Felonese Kelly, alum- nae president, told us of the growth and expansion of our sorority through seventy-three years. Betty Henck- ell, ' Vice President, deserves a lot of credit for the wonderfid job she did on the December dance. Deco- rations were perfect, music good and the general good time was had by all. Special guests were the Lambda Chis. We wanted them to know how much we enjoyed the party they gave us. Making the Fall quarter complete was our presi- dent ' s trip to Mexico City (the vivid details of which were enjoyed by everyone); Pride imboimded the only expression to describe our feeling when Martelia Bell and Dorothy Doerr (Octy and Dottie) were on the all-star volleyball team. Mary Gene Gammon was the same for Softball. During the Christmas holidays some of us found time to attend the wedding of Lola Sue Johnson and Steve Downs in Fort Payne. Valentine ' s Day brought with it the traditional Gamma Phi Beta off-campus dinner-dance. It is hard to say whether dining or dancing was enjoyed more. In .- pril, the big event of the year was realized in our formal dance. The traditional Carnation Ball was sup- plemented this year by the election of The Lady of the M oon as most outstanding Gamma Phi Beta of the year. And just in time to miss the confusion of finals, graduation, and June weddings was another exhausting, exhilirating House Party. We are sorry to say good-bye to the seniors and soon-to-be-marrieds, but are glad there is another year in Alpha Rho of Gamma Phi Beta ahead for most. Extra-curricular expedition.

During the fall came the big Golden Anniversary Tea and the annual Christmas Tea Dance. Winter saw the initiation of a wonderful pledge class led by pledge president Jo Ann Hunter and well trained by slave-driver Lindsay. Finally spring brought the flowers and the annual White Rose Ball. Throughout the year K.D. ' s were busy in campus activities and in gathering honors. Sadie Hawkins Day beauty was led by Daisy Mae McNabb, while sports were led by Lefty Byars, star of the girls ' football game. With the coming of basketball Raymona and Gin Owen were in there cheering. Among the lucky ones making those talked-of choiV trips were Ruth Jennings, vice president of the Choir, Jackie Horton, Poke and Parasol Whetstone, Jane Hutchins, Norma Jean Wil- liams, and Francile Cannon. Always prac- ticing for that piano lesson, Caroline Norton, Mary Cathryn Underwood, and Mary Lois Grayson did themselves proud at the Con- servatory. Elizabeth Wall brought culture to the chap- ter; Jo Smith usually brought food; Peggy Rountree ' s effective rushing brought pledges; Hazel Clark tried to bring better grades; Ca- rol Ann Smith led the chapter in bringing to a little boy in the Crippled Children ' s ' Clinic pleasure at Christmas and throughout the year. Carrying on the Kappa Delta tradition of capturing the cutest men, Emily Lindsay, Kitty Fouche, and Margaret Mathews wore fraternity pins. Shirley Kilpatrick was a step ahead with a diamond. Dot West, Margaret Enslen, Betty Gore, Raymona Mary Jo, Carol Ann, Norma Jean, and Ruth Jennings parad- ed among the prettiest of the beauties. From the University came Linn Williams to park her car in front of the bookstore. To the dorm came Naomi Webb, Jackie Wise, Sue Hamilton, and Jo Ann Powers. Nena Berry came to raise the scholastic average. Eukie McNutt and Alta London came to rep- resent the family. Art talent came to the chapter with Margaret Cooper and Carol Lowry. Madly swinging a gavel and trying to keep up with all this was prexy Jane Hutchins, also president of Panhellenic and wearer of the Mortar Board. It was a great big busy year for Kappa Delta at Southern as the girls looked forward to greater years ahead. The K.D. ' s picked Tulwiler.

The first hit was racked up in the fall rush season when eleven enthusiastic new Pi Phis were added to the chapter rolls. Following pledging, the actives were treated to a Chi- nese dinner and returned the compliment with the traditional Mother-Daughter tea. The customary Christmas open house and a brand new feature, the Leap Year party, marked the capable direction of Frances Mar- tin, was the most original in the memory of the chapter in its use of Greek columns, sil- vered trees, and flash powder. The Easter Tea, honoring national editor, Mrs. T. N. Alford, and Founder ' s Day banquet rounded out the Pi Phi social schedule. Pi Phi arrows were in evidence in all phases of campus activities. Anne Lewis and Maude Diseker represented upper and lower division women respectively on the Executive Covm- cil. Intramural Council awarded all star ti- tles to Anne Lewis and Henrietta Martin in olley ball, and to Peggy McDonald and Sara Killingsworth in Basketball. Betty Ray Price sparked the swimming team. Who ' s Who among American College and University Stu- dents recognized four Pi Phis— Phyllis Ander- son, Pat Brittain, Anne Lewis and Sue Mc- Namee. The Beauty Parade in January was one of the chapter ' s highest scores, placing Nancy Johnson in the favorite section and Phyllis Anderson, Ann Coats, and Anne Lewis in the beauty pages. It looked very much as if Cupid were aim- ing the Pi Phi arrows this year judging from the fact that Rew, Brittain, Coats, Kirk, Mil- ler, Cochran, Kicker, Scogin, and Martin, pointed their pins straight up and put frat pins beside them. Another indication was the fact that Ann Newell, Ann McPhail, Jamie Harris, Naomi Duncan, and Susie Harris traded frat pins for wedding rings. Alabama Alpha continued to improve its aim this year and plans to keep in practice for bigger and better bullseyes. Rushing with a song. Row 1, left to right — Crowtler, Mann, McGowan, J. Gilmer.

They ' ve participated in practically every field of activity on the campus, capably filling the ranks of organizations with versatile talent and eager workers. Apollo being their patron, it ' s no wonder that there are so musicians in the group. Jean Gilmer, a member of Mu .Alpha, and Bonnie Ruth Taylor are music majors and members of the college choir, as are Eoline McGowan, Mary . nn Casimes, Julia . nn Giliner, and Ramona Brooks. Ramona also representetl the sorority at the Beauty Ball on January 25. LaNelle Crowder, that scholastic marvel who never misses the Dean ' s list, was chosen for membership in Phi Sigma Iota. Eoline MacGowan was elected to Delta Phi -Alpha and Betty Jo Mann to Kappa Delta Epsilon. That Crowder girl walked off with the soror- ity scholarship cup this year, after two consecutive wins by Marjory Kirbv. The social life of the Theta U ' s has been far from dull. Rushing was a whirl of parties — including a buf- fet supper, a circus party, and a progressi e dinner. Right in the midst of rushing came the news that a Xi aliniina. Dee (Foster) .Sims, had become national chap- ter vice-president, after having been national editor and holding several other important posts. . tea was given in her honor on Sept. 28 at Stockham Hall, with Theta U ' s from all over the state joining in the festivi- ties. Halloween was marked by a gala informal at the home of Jessie Freeman, province president. AVith the cold winds of winter came the Christmas Carnival parade, in which Jean Gilmer. Bettv Mann, Eoline McGowan, Bonnie Riuh Taylor, and Ramona Brooks graced the floats of two South . merican Prin- cesses while Julia .Ann Gilmer represented the sorority on the BSC float. The debut of 1948 was celebrated in fine style with a party, complete with paper hats, noisemakers, con- fetti, and the singing of . uld Lang Syne Business was combined with pleasure when a benefit bridge party was giveir in January to aid Berea College, at Berea Kentucky, Thea Upsilon ' s national philan- thropic work. Tlie annual Foimder ' s Day banquet, at which actives and alumnae honored Theta Upsilon ' s nine foimders. was held at the Molton Hotel January 17, just one week before that glad day, January 24, of the sorority ' s annual formal dance. The decorations, all white, deep green, and silver, were a perfect back- ground for Prexy Eoline NfacGowan ' s white satin gown, as she led the dance with Johnny Jeff. Several visits to their sisters at Iota . lpha and . lpha Alpha chapters at .Aidjurn and the University of Alabama rounded out the year for Thea U ' s here at Southern.

Mary Leta English and ' Tran Jones won the Tennis Doubles Tournament, thus clinch- ing the cup and Betty Underwood won the Ping Pong Championship. We were second in Volley Ball, but who will ever forget that famous slam ball of Mary Leta ' s. There are Zetas in Phi Delta Psi, Chi Sigma Phi, Eta Sigma Phi and Alpha Lambda Delta, while Mary Leta was mentioned in Who ' s Who In American Colleges and Universilies. Our new President, Roco Timberlake and Bess Sheperd were elected to the School ' s Executive Council. Roco is also secretary of Pan Hellenic Council and of Mu Alpha while Bess is Secretary of the Council and of the Publications Board. We had royalty this year when Susan Adams and Karel Brad- ley were chosen as Princesses for the Annual Birmingham Christmas Carnival. There were ten other Zetas riding the floats so it looked like a call meeting. Our Annual Christmas Tea Dance, with its blue and silver decorations and large stag line, was a huge success, as were the Coke parties in the room, the dinner dance at Betty Barbour ' s and the pledge ' s Valentine party. The future Calendar includes the Beauty Parade, spons ored by the Southern Accent, in which eight Zetas will march, Interfrater- nity Sing, May Day, The Dance and the weddings of Jean Cochran, Sarah Fisch, Anne Ellis, and Eleanor Pedigo. It ' s been a crowd- ed year, but on looking back a few things stand out clearly— that bright smile of Mary Leta, Anne Smith ' s quiet humor, the trou- bles of Kitty and her Lafayette, the murmur from the continual bridge game in the room, the crash of ash trays as the pledges clean house and that sense of well being you get as the strains of Zeta Blues fill the air.

Our Accent photograher caught her at the piano in the dorm and indulging in her favorite pastime, bridge. Opposite and on the following pages Jimmy Wilson trains his dramatic lens on Queen Joy and her court of beauties and favorites to bring you Southern ' s 1948 harvest of beauty. m m m. : ' - nne cJ ei ZiLe BEAUTY i K yvnn C oaU PARADE friidi lllar aret C nilen L BEAUTY Wiss PUL nJer.

The first of June finds carpenters busy build- ing the outdoor stage in Mimger Bowl, art students and Dramatic Workshop members jilanning and painting the sets, and choruses already well-versed in the role they will play in the Magic City ' s annual operatic under- taking. This is the event that tells the town how much a part of the city th eir western college is, for without the talent, the resources, the long weeks of hard labor contributed by Bir- mingham-Southern, Starlight Opera would be left wanting These scenes from the production of Rose Marie give some idea of the work, talent, and fun that went into the making of the Friml operetta. Above, part of the cast, stage hands, electricians, and artists get together for a pose that gives complete coverage. Right, Johnny Silver is a laughing armfid of perplexity for Southern ' s Clarence Cook. Below, the Mounties, on and off duty; those who toiled without top billing; and a tense but enjoyable moment in the life of Emile. SADIE HAWKIN ' S DAY All other days may go and come without any more than a nod of recogiition, but Hilkoppers never fail to do their best for the lonely lady of Dogpatch. Saddle shoe s and sweaters are swapped for the latest in Dogpatch styles, (note pictures, right), professorial adinonishments are generally ignored for those twenty-four hoins, and Munger Bowl and the gym become overnight as s ' ild and voolly as the best of Dogpatch hills. The afternoon features football for the gals, sock races, tug-o-war, potato races, and the climax — the Chase. Pursuer and pursued, (the one she caught), have dinner on the ground by the big bonfire, and all proceed to the square dances, hog-calling contests, and the naming of the Sadie of the year. Pictmes around the page show the round of merriment from ' Comin ' Roimd the Mountain ' to the final capitulation of one male, snagged and caught. The following day is usually spent in combing hay out of the hair and sto s ' ing away derby and jug vmtil the next year. IPIRT ELECTION DAY Suffrage — every American ' s right, every citi- zen ' s duty. Here we learned about politics, mob psychology, machines, how to influence people and win votes, and how, when the shouting was over, to run efficiently, collectively, and duti- fully, the wheels of student government. The campus became a patch- work quilt of colors, streamers, placards, and posters. Weeks before the great day campaign headquarters sprang up and the machines were greased for action. It was a time of campus spirit, of reckoning with jobs to be done and students to do it. It was a time of clashing opinions and, opposing views. It was a time when honor meant a lot. When the ballots were counted and the oaths taken, the furor died and the elect took over. MR. HILLTOPPER This is the time for the men to shine, as candidates for the title of Mr. Hill- topper and as performers extraordinary. In 1947-48 it was Joe Cunniff who took the crown as Mr. Hill topper, IV., the most typical, all-round, talented, and popular man on the Hill. Sponsored annually by the AOPi ' s the contest brings together candidates for the honor from every fraternity and sorority. They plug their chioce, pub- licize his deeds, and gather votes for him from every corner of the campus. When the curtain goes up on the big night the candidates are presented to the audience and while votes are count- 3 ed a male cast presents skits and a fash- ion parade, wherein the women get a chance to see just ho v beautiful a man can be. A philanthropic project of the AOPi ' s, all proceeds from the sho ' go to their Frontier Nursing Service in Kentucky. e I men on e l- arade Masculine pulchritude in feminine apparel. CAT ' S PAW Leprechauns, the Veterans Administration, Ala- bama politics, and the New Look, all came in for a crack in one of the most unusual Cat ' s Paw demonstrations of that event ' s long history. It is traditionally an all-school show. Everyone participates in the evening ' s clowning, and gener- ally everyone is clowned upon, for Cat ' s Paw has become a medium of stibtle, healthy satire on any and every aspect of student life. Even the faculty joins in the fun, and for one evening the barriers are completely broken. Divided arbitrarily into four grotips, the stvi- dents plan their skit, vrite the script, make cos- tumes, learn to sing and dance, and laughingly trample on everyone ' s toes. If laughter is the best medicine known. South- ern ' s students are safe as long as they are doctored yearly by Cat ' s Paw. Around the page: Leprechauns dance, make wierd noises and tell tales on the world; Bob Mitchum made the evening completely fantastic; the College Theater make-up crew did their part; We know — B.O.; Faculty fantasy; Cigareets and Whisky, and Wild, Wild Wimminl •M y BEAUTY ON PARADE Satin, ruffiCs, crinoline skins, orchids and gar- denias . . . and Southern ' s loveliest girls. Against a spectacular old Southern background, complete with bales of cotton, campus beauties paraded for a jam-packed house in Munger Audi- toriinn. Beauty has definitely become a tradition at Southern, expressed this year by Queen Joy Barn- hart and her ladies-in-waiting, Anne Lewis, Mar- garet Enslen, Phyllis Anderson, and Ann Coats. It vas a dark and stormy night but bright vas the merriment vithin. For close-ups turn to the Beauty Section. to.

The Intramural Council consists of fraternity and independent representa- tives vho abet Coach Baker in planning the year ' s athletic program. These representatives discuss, then vote on feasible measures involving rules, equipment, officials — and all the necessities involved in making an ath- letic progiam click. It is their decisions that make the Intramural program a decisive success. Besides experience gained in the ver- bal tactics required of meeting the very prerequisites of a successful program, the young gentlemen, honored by their group as selectees, represent the athletic epitome of their organization. The purpose of Intramural is to ac- quaint as many persons as possible with the requirements and vigor involved in athletics. Through Intramurals each individual may be reached. Thus more bodies are toughened more muscles are hardened and minds are sharpened. Intramurals are the peak of competi- tive student participation. GIRLS ' INTRAMURAL COUNCIL Seated, left to right — McDonald, Lewis, Brown, Hughes, Collins, Davis, GuUedge. Standing — Harris, Martin, Barnes, Jones, Holley, Doerr, Kirby, Rountree. These are the big wheels ■who keep things rolling smoothly on the girls ' side of the gym. Senior Manager, Bib Hughes, guided these weekly meetings of sorority sports representatives with Misses Lewis and Davis in neutral corners. Plenty of brains as well as bra vn were in evidence when the girls went through the mathematical intricacies of draw- ing up tournaments. They worked that others might play. VARSITY COACH AND CAPTAINS Coach Bill Burch and Captains Ox- ford and Gilmore are pictured on a stratagem to suttice their courtly ambi- tions. Coach Burch replaced Coach Bill Battle at the mid-point of the Cat sea- son and turned in a creditable job of prepping his boys. It was Coach Burch ' s initial job as skipper of the varsity squad. Forecast for next season: The Panthers will be tough to beat.

NTRAMURAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM With an 8-1 record of wins against losses, the Kappa Alpha Knights captured the I.M. football trophy for ' 48. Left to right are, (kneeling), Callahan, Tutwiler, Dominick, Causey, Wall, Bains, Teniplin, Taylor, Bagley, Brown. (Standing), McCoy, Kiker, Garmon, El- liott, Sherman, Keathley, Moore, Stallings, Coates, Coach Hamilton, Walker, Grimes, Avirett. The all-stars: Ready: Let ' s go now! 1-2-3-4! Exhibiting their wares in a practice session in Munger Bo vl are, (left to right in the line), Phil Bouffard, Booty Jennings, Parker Hopping, Bill Logan, Tom Avirett; (backfield), Hu- bert Snow, Paul Davis, Bill Douglas, Malcomb Coates. Percy Sullivan not shown. Comeon, boys! Miss Lewis ' dancing class is at 12 o ' clock. It ' s a bird, it ' s a man — it ' s Parker Hopping really hop- ping. KA 6— SAE 0: Jack Inglis, SAE ' s flashy back, moves into KA ' s Hal Stal- lings in the rugged fray between the teams. Tutwiler and Mashburn close the pincers on the ball carrier. FOOTBALL (Far left), Paul Davis getting ready to toe the leather high and away down£ield. The Ram back was conceded to be the best piuiter on the Hilltop. Ensley ' s triple- threat. Bill Logan, is doubling at center. Davis lettered at Ramsay High, Logan at Ensley. (Left), Percy Sullivan and Booty Jennings, guards on the Rams and ATO ' s respectively, show their pull-out ability as they get ready to go into their downfield blocks. The Rams triple-threat, Billy Dou- glas, is treading the golden carpet of the up-front boys. Kappa Alpha came off the ground from a 10-0 Ensley shellacking to spank the Independent Rams 6-0 and garner the I.M. football honors. It was sweet revenge for the Red and Whites who lost a 13-12 thriller to the same Rams a year ago, and with it the school cham- pionship. The KA ' s waltzed through most of their opposition prior to the Ensley game; only ATO and SAE forced them to show their fancy steps as the ATO ' s were defeated 7-2 and the boys of SAE 6-0. The Southern Champs then plas- tered Sewanee 19-6 in the two schools ' yearly meeting. Coached by Price Hamilton, the KA ' s were good when that was required and better when the chips were down. That KA-Ram windup in the rain and mud was a honey! (Right) — Tom Avirett, end, and Malcom C o a t e s, halfback, are two big reasons why Kappa Alpha won the I.M. football crown. Better known as the Brahmins of Lee ' s brigade. (Center) — Parker hopping, kicking. Bill Logan holding, and three points tor Ensley. The toe was terrificl (Far right)— Hu- bert Snow.

Weldon Sapp. From a field of 160 entries, this new comer emerged to beat Phillip Feltham 21-18, 21-13 and capture the table tennis title. Nice going, champ. Likeable Danny Kallman, the handball King, eased through eight opponents to capture the crown. Danny ' s two straight game win in the finals was a fine triumph for a great com- petitor. B CLUB Southern ' s revived varsity program features this excellent group of letter winners. Our hats are doffed to: Jerry Chambers, Bob Callahan, Par- ker Hopping, Jerry Oxford, Tom Avirett, Stu Nicholson, Jack Gilmore, (reading left to right — front row).

Varsity Tennis — (left to right) Brown, Waggoner, Dillard, Causey, Coates, Sapp, Coach Gaines. It was a raquet the way these boys swejJt to the Alabama Champion- ship. WOMEN ' S VOLLYBALL OFFICIALS Peggy McDonald, (left), and Dot West, (right), kept tab on points during the volleyball tournament. Experts themselves, they kept the. ball off the hard- wood for Pi Phi and KD respectively. Women ' s intramural sports hit a new high in enthusiasm and participation, and the complicated procedure o£ inan- aging tournaments kept Senior Man- ager, Bib Hughes, and Jtmior Manager, Raymona Brown, busy during the year. Assisting them were Patsy Collins, who handled volleyball, Peggy McDon- ald, tennis, Irene Gulledge, basketball, Ruth Harris, s vimming, and Peggy Rotmtree, softball. The victory cup was relinquished this year by the Independents to Pi Beta Phis who drew championships in tennis singles, softball, badminton, and free throw. Independents copped the volleyball cro vn for the second consecutive year, edging out the Pi Phis and placing their two stars on the all-star list. The volley- ball talent vas widespread, however, as this all-star team shows: Bib Hughes, Anne Lewis, Heni-ietta Martin, Dottie Doerr, Nelle Whetstone, Mary Leta English, Martelia Bell, and Irene Gul- ledge. Lejl — The Independent champs — Mildred Walker, Mary McGowan, Tony Rizzo, Bib Hughes. Ellen Williams, Evelyn McMillan, and Irene Gulledge. Above — The AOPi ' s hit a hefty one for waiting Zeta ' s. NTRAMURALS BASKETBALL OFFICIALS Bib Hughes and Irene Gulledge, (right), In- dependent stalwarts, kept their whistles ready at basketball games. Irene was chosen outstand- ing woman athlete with 1050 points to her credit. Bib Was a close second with 1047. AOPi ' s tenaciously held on to their champion- ship in basketball with Pi Phi ' s and Independ- ents giving them terrific competition. A cham- pionship playoff among the top three was neces- sary to settle the winner, and Patsy Collins ' six managed to make it by squeezing past the Pi Phi ' s in a 6-5 thriller. Even the all-stars were elected only from the top three teams — Elsa Allgood, Irene Gidledge, Bib Hughes, Peggy McDonald, Sara Killingsworth, and Pat Bowers.

WOMEN ' S TENNIS The tennis doubles crown went to the Zeta ' s whose fast-stepping, hard-hitting duo. Fran Jones and Mary Leta English, (above), kept opponents panting for breath and wanting for gaine points. TABLE TENNIS There was more than a flick of the wrist in the secret of Betty Underwood, Zeta. who took the ping pong championship for the second straight year. SWIMMING On your mark, get set. Go! Left to right, Margaret Cooper, Daphna Barnes, and Josephine Sansone take a plunge. High pointers in the annual meet, they were topped by Raymona Brown who led the KD ' s to victory. Under the direction of Miss Davis swimming be- came a fine art when a water ballet group was formed by May Day festi- vities. SPORTS ACTION Action and teamwork were the keywords for women ' s sports tournaments in 1948. Volley- ball, basketball, and Softball continued to lead the list of major team sports with tennis gaining in popularity and skilled players. Badminton and table tennis drew the not-so-active into the intramural program. Left, Patsy Collins rings two points for the AOPi ' s while Pi Phi guards the goal. Center and below, a crowd gathered for the Independent-AOPi match, one of the hardest fought games of the season. X WHOM tL BELL TOLLS The clapper fell heavily on the hour and every day for four years. Sometimes it hit like the axe of an executioner; other times its tones were as sweet as the Liberty Bell ' s. Now it tolls a mournful tune. It means that college is over and that this record of our last year on the Hill must close. We feel at last akin to professors -who never heard the bill ring and always held us overtime. And now that we must leave, we want to linger on to finish all we left undone, to explore all the paths our courses opened up to us. But the marshalling clang of the bell orders us on to the next class, to the next lesson. We hope we ' ve caught the spirit of Southern in these pages. We hope the things you ' ll never forget are pictured in this book. To the undergraduates we offer this work as our humble legacy. To the profs who led us up and over the Hill ' e utter a mute but deep-felt thanks. The hands of the clock jump to the hour, wheels spin and the bell rings. Il is tolling its parting knell — for us.
