But the reasons for the fond satisfaction with which Hill- toppers look back over another year on the campus are not to be found here in any certain pictures or on any specific pages. Life at Birmingham-Southern is a compound of things which are too real to appear in black and white. There ' s the chill of Exam Week in December, and the warm glow of the almost-Eternal Flame of Knowledge . . . the cokes and chatter in the Book- store, and the coffee and culture in the Cellar . . . the camaraderie of Greek life, and the spirited competition of intramural sports . . . the rush of rush week, and the lethargy of the 12:30 lunch line ... the cheerful grumbling about compulsory Convocation, and the gayety of the purely voluntary dances in the Gym . . . These are the things which make life at Birmingham-Southern what it is. These are the things which will make the year live in the hearts of Hilltoppers through the years ahead. And these are the things, it is hoped, whose essence has left its invisible imprint on the pages of this book ... CO Munger Memorial Hall The President ' s Home M.

Mammy Yokum, Lil ' Abner, Daisy Mae, Marryin ' Sam, the Wolf Gal, Moonbeam Mac- Swine, and all the rest of the turnip-eatin ' bunch of bodacious characters put on a parade of floats and present a day ' s schedule of games and fun, climaxed by the big Sadie Hawkins Day race. Skunk Hollow is the scene for the night ' s shindig, following the barbecue supper. ! TV J Catspaw Catspaw is the annual night of the satirical head-chopping. Straightjackets are issued to the audience at the door. The winning skit, Southern on Broadway, was presented by Alpha Tau Omega, Zeta Tau Alpha, Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Delta, and Alpha Chi Omega. They received a bronze plaque. College Theatre A large, receptive audience greeted the winter quarter production, Liliom. Directed by Arnold Powell, Molnar ' s play was excellently portrayed, according to the Birming- ham critics who reviewed it on opening night. The role of Liliom was played by Ted Nordman. Shirley Ezell portrayed Julie, the peasant girl who came to the city, loved Liliom and became a sorrowing widow at his death. One of the high spots of the play was the music, composed by Stuart Mims, and played by twins Grady and Gordon Wilson. Mr. Hilltopper Each year the AOPi sorority sponsors the Mr. Hilltopper contest. Proceeds help support the sorority ' s philanthropic program. All organizations on campus sponsored candidates. SAE ' s Steve Windham won and was crowned Mr. Hilltopper by Miss Southern Accent, Janet Bell. The physical education department presents a water ballet each year, directed by Miss Elizabeth Davis, and assisted by College Theatre and Music department students. Water Ballet Miss Southern Accent Lily May Caldwell, Jimmy Wilson, and £. G. Courie were the judges for the Miss Southern Accent contest. Miss Janette Bell was selected as Miss Southern Accent, and with her five beauties and nine favorites. A luncheon was followed by the reception on the same day the selection was made. Ann Bates, yearbook editor, presented Janette at the reception to the students and invited guests. i« ' ■  T -• '  - ' .V ' ' I L freshman Camp All freshmen entering ' Southern for the fall quarter were taken to Camp Winnataska for orientation and a get- acquainted with fellow students and faculty period. Dean Henry T. Shanks, the man behind the idea, saw to it that everyone enjoyed themselves, in ad- dition to carrying out the main purpose of the camp — easing the transition from high school to college for the freshmen.

Captain Tommy McWiUiams, Gaston Pollock, James Esco, and John Tate were left from the previous years ' squad. It was practically a freshman team and Coach Billy Burch was faced with one of his toughest schedules, including SEC greats LSU, Tulane, Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, and Ole Miss. But, even though the team lost most of the games, they played close scores and improved with every game. Next year should be a good one. TOMMY McWILLIAMS Captain.

AO Tr The red and white team returned this year behind the strong leadership of Marilyn Butler, forward and captain. Merry Lynne Mayes, Martha Shackleford, Dottie Tyler, and Connie Conway were new comers to the squad that boasted the services of such stars as Suzie Davis, Mary Jacq Snow, and Harriet Higdon. Re- lieving these players were Celeste Wade, Faye Hendricks, Kit Martin, and Dora Alice Cowan. 7(1)B Boosted by the skillful playing of new- comer Ellyn Etchinson and experienced Sally Wood, the Gamma Phi team has shown considerable strength. Mary Ann Crossley, Myrt Green, Joyce Hyde, and Betty Jean Ryan have been of unexpend- able aid in supporting the team in play. XA Height, speed, and accuracy have brought the Kappa Delta team into close range for the championship. Height has been supplied by Ann Kennemer, Celeste Hayden, Rosa Townsend, Peggy Massey, Mary Forrest Wesson and Mae-Mae Nee- ly; speed by Mary Katherine Armstrong, Clara Lee Hammett, Carolyn Jones, and Virginia Covington; and accuracy by Eleanor Jackson as forward and Patty Neyman as scorer. ZTA The Zetas, showing potential strength in freshmen, have battled this year with- out aid in the form of experienced play- ers. Treshmen: Janis Grace, Joan Murphy, Ann Gravlec, Mary Jean Parson, and Becky Holt have added support to re- turning players: Martha Smith, Mary Ann Haslam, Ellen Bryant, Eleanor Ham- ilton, and Bettie Hunter. This group shows promise of being tough to play next year. INDEPENDENTS The Carroll twins, Joan and Jein, play- ing their final and most brilliant year of basketball show a strong indication to again sweep the intramural season for the Independent team. These stars have the support of Betty Hamby, Marion Bayard, Gwen Adams, Joyce Ruth Hall, Helen Hallman, Hilda Waddell, and Anna Lois Cecil. IV 3 (t Returning this year, minus the services of Kap Price and Mac McCoy, the Pi Phi ' s have again threatened the leaders for the basketball championship. Joanne Gray and Ann Yeilding, guard and for- ward, respectively, have been outstanding. Rounding out the roster are Marilyn Brit- tan, Rqye Wates, Carolyn Cox, Diane Wiggins, Harriett Howard, and Shirley Hines. Jean Carroll won this years ' Badminton contest, winning another trophy for the Inde- pendents. Her sister, Joan was runner-up and aided her in gaining the required team points. The Ping Pong tournament is one of the highlights of the intramural Winter Quarter program. This year it was won by Independent, Joan Carroll. Pictured above is Joyce Spradley who also aid- ed the Independents in win- ning the Ping Pong trophy. Jean and Joan Carroll won the tennis tourna- ment in the girls intramural fall quarter pro- gram. Softball is an event of the Spring Quarter. The Carro twins, Joan and Jean are pic- tured in action. They will be keen competition in this year ' s Softball games. Volleyball tournament was won oy the Inde- pendents during the fall quarter intramural pro- gram for girls. All set to tee off, is Eleanor Hamilton, Zeta. So far golf hasn ' t played a very impor- tant role in B.S.C. ' s athletic program, but increased in- terests indicates possibilities for more extensive training in this field. £ J PANHELLENIC COUNCIL BARBARA FIKES, President MEMBERS Martha Moore Martha Mae Neely Diane Wiggins Shirley Hines Ann Bates Sue Cofield Vivian Thompson Joanne Hayes Suzanna Davis Sally Wood Mona Ivie Margaret Norton Elizabeth Mitchell Barbara Fikes .

In the next month we had the honor of meeting our National Counselor, Mrs. James M. McDonald, who came to Brimingham to visit our chapter. Then, after the fall rush, Mrs. Frank E. Kerdyk, our Province President, paid us an in- formal visit. Our altruistic work is with the cerebral palsied, and we hope to contribute much this year to this very interesting and worthwhile project. This year our chapter president Dale Jordan holds the gavel at Panhellenic meetings. « «— ■■ 1 m 1 m ■rx rir ff ■• ' •. fl EM Is ■HBPPl W JHpi::: . ' ' ' S JI: ■Sli iS.

The organizations on campus were packed with the girls of AO Pi. The Executive Council boasted the membership of two lucky girls. AO Pi pins were also prominent in Kappa Pi, Mu Alpha, KDE, Mortar Board, Amazons, Triangle Club, and Freshman Commission. As far as beauty is concerned, we will ask you to turn quickly to the beauty section, for there you will see six AO Pis. The newly formed Mother ' s Club members have had supper in Stockham with their daughters every month. We are very grateful to our mothers for all the help they have given us this year. The Mr. Hilltopper program was very successful. Steve Windham was Mr. Hilltopper — 1952, and Martha Cunliff received the award for being the most outstanding AO Pi senior. At the annual Founder ' s Day banquet pledges sang their pledge song in perfect har- mony for the members and alumnae. The PE Club, as well as the Water Ballet, claims members from AO Pi. We also have girls in the College Theatre and the Choir. Climaxing a glorious quarter was the annual Christmas dance held at the Student Activities Building and the winter quarter highlight was the yearly formal held Febru- ary 28. ■mmmr TAU DELTA CHAPTER OFFICERS JOANNE HAYES President SUZANNA DAVIS Vice Preside,ii MARILYN BUTLER Secretary MARY JACQ SNOW Treasurer MEMBERS Joyce Add ington Joanne Hayes Ann Bairnsfather Faye Hendrix Ann Barr Katherine Johnson Doris Bohannon Emogene Kinney Marilyn Butler Marilyn Scofield Barbara Carlisle Mary Jacc] Snow Martha Cunliff Mildred Ann Tatum Suzanna Davis PLEDGES Connie Conway Dora Alice Cowcn Harriet Higdon Betty Ann Howell Mary Alyce Johnson Sandra Jones Martha Kelly Shirley Ladd Eleanor McCain Martha Shacklcford Cxkste Wade Jeanne Waller Gamma Phi Beta For many years Gamma Phi has been one of the most active sororities on campus and this last year has been no exception. Alpha Rho Chapter has taken an active part in all campus activities, Entre Amigos, Newman Club, Kappa Pi, YWCA, INS, Mu Alpha, BSU, and Le Cercel Francais all claim members of Gamma Phi. We have Gamma Phi ' s as presidents of Kappa Pi and BSU, as vice president of the Newman Club, and as treas- urer of the College choir. Members of Alpha Rho Chapter enjoyed making toy animals and collecting clothes this past year for needy children. Several parties have been given for such under-privi- leged children by the chapter. Gamma Phi pledges have represented Alpha Rho well. Charlotte Clapp was a run- ner-up in the Miss Alabama contest and Mary Ann Crossley, with the aid of a pig, took top honors as Moonbeam MacSwine in the Sadie Hawkins Day contest. A favorite in the Miss Southern Accent contest was Myrtice Ann Greene, while Sally Wood and Anita Shoemaker took May Court honors. Considering all the Gamma Phi activities, we think it has been a perfect year.

Martha Mae Neely was chosen Sadie Hawkins on the Dogpatch holiday. KD ' s are represented in Mortar Board, Executive Council, College Theatre, Hilltop News staff, the Choir, Intramural Council, Southern Accent staff, Entre Amigos, Le Cercle Francais, and hold the offices of vice president of KDE and Amazons, president and vice president of Phi Sigma Iota, and vice president of YWCA. Five KD pledges are on the Freshman Commission, two of them holding the offices of president and vice president. Ann Kennemer was chosen as Sweetheart of Lambda Chi this year. Elected to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities was Martha Moore. Highlighting the year ' s social activities were the Founder ' s Day Banquet, the annual Christmas dance, and the KD ' s White Rose Bali.

Drop by the gym and you ' ll find Mary Ann Bagley and Ann Yeilding directing water ballet practice. Ann also led the Pi Kappa Alpha dance in the fall quarter. At Stockham on Monday afternoons you ' ll see Jo Ann Little presiding as president of the YWCA.

The year ' s social activities began with a square dance and Halloween party, and in- cluded a gay Christmas party during the winter holidays. On the spring agenda, among social occasions on a smaller scale, was the annual formal Evening in Paris Ball. The Theta U ' s were found participating wholeheartedly in such campus activities as Sadie Hawkins Day, when the hillbilly songs of the TU ' s Skunk Holler Six added color, if not culture, to the proceedings. The names of Theta U ' s were found in abundance on the Dean ' s List, as well as on the rolls of such organizations as Mortar Board, Alpha Lambda Delta, Choir, College Theatre, Mu Alpha, YWCA, Phi Sigma Iota, PE Club, Entre Amigos, French Club, Kappa Delta Epsilon, MSM, BSU, and 2nd Westminister Fellowship. In addition, Theta U ' s held down such offices as Editor of The Southern Accent, vice president of the choir, vice president of the PE Club, secretary of Phi Sigma Iota, vice president of Entre Amigos, recording secretary of Mu Alpha, and secretary of the Westminister Fellowship. All in all it has been a good year for Theta U — with lots of fun, partying, and honors.

There are Zetas in most of the honorary organizations of the campus — Alpha Lambda, Mu Alpha, Theta Sigma Lambda, Phi Sigma Iota, Kappa Delta Epsilon, and Kappa Pi. Zeta pins are seen in all the various campus groups besides the honorary clubs. Not only did a Zeta catch her man on Sadie Hawkins Day, but also the title of Sadie Hawkins herself. When try-outs for the College Theatre production of Liliom were held, two Zetas walked away with the second and third leads. Another one of our pledges was elected co-editor of the Southern Accent. When Mr. Hilltopper was elected this year, the Zeta candidate was the man chosen for this honor. In sports the fall quarter, the Zetas received the tennis doubles cup and Eleanor Hamilton was elected as an All- Star. For the second consecutive year a Zeta has won the honor of Miss Southern Ac- cent. Five Zetas will grace the pages of the yearbook beauty section. There was a Christmas party in the room, to which each girl brought toys for under- privileged children, Christmas carols were sung, and fun was had by all. The Annual Tea Dance came after Christmas, the lead-out in the spring, and other events to keep us busy all year long. May of us will be coming back next fall. For those of us who will soon graduate, we know that Zeta Memories will live always. ALPHA NU CHAPTER OFFICERS MARGARET NORTON President MARTHA R.

ATO placed six men in the top ten all-campus athletes. ATO is especially proud of this record but the achievements of ATO only began with sports. The ATO ' s were second on campus in scholarship. Various men bearing the Maltese Cross held student body offices and publication posts. The graduating class of ' 52 saw ATO ' s as president of the student body, president of the senior class and editor of the Southern Accent. Who and the fraternity song Our Jewels wrapped up first place for the chapter in last year ' s Interfraternity Sing. This was the highlight of the year, since this is the first time this coveted honor has come to us in many years. During the year the Taus moved into their apartment in North Hall. Decorating these new quarters has been one of the chief projects for the past year. The fall and spring house parties held at Seagrove Beach and Gulf Shores always looked forward to by all members of Beta Beta Chapter. iti BETA BETA CHAPTER OFFICERS WILLIAM GRAYSON President O. B.

Success and progress has been the keynote of every undertaking. It will be re- membered as a year of achievement and expansion. Crowning the achievements was the purchase of a house which has become home and headquarters for the brothers. Parties, sorority coffee hours, parent-faculty re- ceptions and stag smokers are all a part of life at the house. Alumni, national officers, and mothers and fathers arc always welcome guests. In scholarship, the chapter ranked all the way from bottom to second place. The ap- pointment of Dr. H. R. Butts to assist Dr. G. R. Hernandez as Chapter Faculty Advisor has improved the ambitions of the brothers in academic life. Beta Delta pledged a record number of men fall quarter. A total of thirty-six men wore the green triangle pledge pen of Delta Sig. The actives are anticipating the activa- tion of the pledges, while in the meantime enjoying official immunity to all work. The sphinxmen made their mark m athletics, placing third in football, seventh in basketball and their uncanny ability to upset presented some interesting if not outstanding playing. Four Sigs placed on the all-star football team. Socially, Delta Sigma Phi was active with events like the Carnation Ball, the Sailors Ball, the Annual House Party in Florida, and many house dances. The highlight of the social year was the Founder ' s Day banquet and ball at the Hotel Tutwiler on the eve of the ' Bama-Auburn football game. The Sons of the Silent Sphinx have lived in 1952 the principles that all brothers of the Bond honor and remain loyal to throughout the years. ' ;. - Kappa Alpha The KA ' s on the Hilltop have had a full year in every way. Socially, they had several fine parties, besides the annual dance. Instead of the usual Old South Ball, they tried something new and came forth with a very successful Rose Bail. Other social functions included a South Sea Island party at the KA house, a dance at the Beta Chi house, several hayrides, and many minor functions. One of the main events during the summer was the house party at Panama City, Florida. Brother James Jackson and Larry Evans were welcomed to membership in ODK. They were, respectively, president of the religious council and vice president of the student body. In the sports field, brothers John Tate and Gardner McCoUum shared equal honors on the basketball team. The sons of the South also put several men on the all-star football team. f i PHI CHAPTER OFFICERS LARRY EVANS President DONALD MORRIS Vice President JAMES JACKSON Secretary GARDNER McCOLLUM Treasurer MEMBERS James Allen Vic Chesser Larry Evans Tom Guttery James Jackson Robert Jennings Robert Lantrip Robert Lee Gardner McCollum Warton Mclntyre Robert Morgan Don Morris Harold Myhand Jean Robinson John Tate Ray Warth George Wilson PLEDGES Roy Acton Ed Led ford Clifford Patterson Clark Soutiiard Lambda Chi Alpha The past year the Crescent boys have kept up the tradition for good parties. The house on the hill has rocked with the sounds of the varied socials. The young Lambdas have frightened many a neighbor with the leers of ghouls, the shouts of buccaneers, and the mating calls of South Sea Island bucks during the annual Luiau party. A few of the brothers have gone to join a party that our generous Uncle Sugaris is giving for the lucky ones. Brothers Ralph Connell, Robert Copeland, Phil Berry, and Peter Fisher are now getting free clothing from the Air Force. Brother Raleigh Barias, John Hutchison, and Gary Hutson are taking the sea cruise offered to the guests of the navy. Brother Charlie Armstrong was the only one lucky enough to be accepted by the ground-pound- ing, gravel-agitating army. The brothers that have been slighted by our Uncle are eagerly awaiting their turn. Between regrets of passed parties and hopes of government-paid trips, the brothers have found time for campusology and extra-curricular activities, such as math, English, Latin, etc. Brother David Campbell, editor of the Hilltop News was elected to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. Charlie Copeland holds the seat of veep in the Interfraternity Council, and also fills the same position in the Geology Club. Among the accomplishments for which the brothers can be proud is the Scholarship Cup awarded them by the National Fraternity for the greatest scholastic improvement during the past year. Al Horn and Jere Williams are constantly on the Dean ' s List. With all eyes toward the annual house party, the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha expect another year of suc- cessful comradeship.

Sixteen pledges were added after a fast-paced but enjoyable rush season, sparked by a Pogo for President party. These new men joined the actives in celebration of pledging and anticipation of a highly successful year by helping stage the chapter ' s annual Garnet and Gold Ball in the gym soon after pledge day. The theme of the dance was that of a Parisian street c fe scene, Chez IIKA. Pikes. also continued their leadership in leadership, i.e., in individual campus activities. In the fall tapping, two more IIKA ' s were added to Omitron Delta Kappa, making a total of four Dagger and Key men in that organization. The president of ODK was also a brother. Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities included four deserving wearers of the Shield and Diamond among its select twelve. The foregoing are but a few of the many important offices and honors attributable to the men of Delta. Other social highlights: A Shipwreck Party feted the actives by the pledge class after fall finals, and the tea given in honor of the mothers and fathers of the pledges by the Mothers ' Club. Sigma Alpha Epsilon Sigma Alpha Epsilon has this year again taken its place in the foremost ranks at ' Southern. Honors have been heaped on its members, to wit: ODK membership, student body presidency, Who ' s Who listings, Inter-Frat Council presidency, Mr. Hilltopper title, and memberships in the College Theatre and Choir. Alabama Iota Chapter, anxious to retain its scholastic standing, sent six of its members to the SAE Annual Leadership Training School at Northwestern University last September. Chapter activities this year have been varied. The let ' s have a party attitude became a fever and afflicted the members with a Cheaha house party, river picnics, buffet sup- pers, Halloween party, and a variety of small get-togethers ranging from election return wakes to all night bull sessions in the geology lab. SAE again brought the no. 1 college band, the Alabama Cavaliers, to the campus to funish music for its annual dance. To complete its well-rounded program of activities SAE placed a good Softball team and a better-than-average football team in the intramural competitions. We would like to pay a tribute to our dear departing brothers with these words of a great orator, (deleted).
