Sophiades The staff with the fluttering blue and gold ribbons pauses over a girl, then gently taps her on the shoulder. The hushed auditorium resounds with our applause as another of our classmates is tapped for Sophiades, Coker’s honorary scholastic society. New members are selected on the basis of scholastic achievement and contribution to college life. Only one- sixth of the senior class and one-half of the eligible juniors may be admitted. Suphiades gives awards annually for the best student re- search work and creative work.

These students are selected for this honor by the faculty and the senior class. Scholarship, leadership, and contribution to college life are the outstanding characteristics for which these girls are chosen. Yet we would add another quality—that extra spark ‘of friendliness that is the Coker spirit.

92 LEFT TO RIGHT: Reaves, Banks, White, Frances Gurley. ok Gateway Sally Banks, Editor Budding literary minds have a chance to express themselves through contributions to the annual spring publication of the Gateway. This is Coker’s literary maga- zine comprised of essays, short stories, sketches, and poetry by student authors. Awards are offered for the best work in each division. Work on the Gateway begins far in advance of the publication date, as Editor Sally Banks and her Assistant Editor Charlotte Reaves read and re-read all material sub- mitted. Conferences with Art Editor Frances Gurley fol- low; the aid of Typist Marian White is enlisted; the lay- out is planned; and the Gateway is well on its way! Not until the cover has been chosen and the last proof sheet corrected, however, is the staff's work completed. Then comes the satisfaction of offering to all, Coker’s “proudest products of the pen.”

“Younger than springtime’-—as attractive, too— We present Miss Carleene Myers to you! A rose among us thorns, as it were— Grace and charm characterize her, For fair disposition as well as complexion, For beauty of spirit, have we made our selection! A girl who keeps her things just so, | In school dependable and “on the go,” | She may be little but she’s productive | And neat and sweet and suite constructive, By all of this can just be meant That Lib is our “Most Efficient!” Around and around and around she goes— And where she stops, everybody knows! Around the campus with a friendly smile The Spirit of Coker all the while To Coker’s standards ever true, The “Best All-Around’—Sylvia Sweet to you. entor Most eaiattive Carleene Myers Whst CNicient Lib Plowden Te Oe ed Vey SNe Sylvia Sweet
