L11 Cottev activities mean a great deal to Cottey girls. The strongest memories we have of these two precious years are those of the Mags and Ems. of athletics. of plays. XVe can't think of Cottey without coffee hour. the Hanging of the Greens. or the George kVashington formal dinner. These things mean Cottey to us, Friendships we have mad: here and our many good times will not be forgotten. STUDENT COUNCII. lgvery other week Stockard Hall became the meeting place for the Student Council. sponsored during the first semester by Dr. Stockard and through the last by Dr. Mitchell. The Council started the year with an all-school picnic at Radio Springs Park and sponsored the traditional Hanging of the Greens to open the Christmas season. Signs for the Recreation Room were made by some of the members. and a Hne system was initiated by which broken ashtrays and records were replaced. Jennie Claire Visser wielded the Student Council gavel for the year 10-HA-1-5. Miriam XVeirick headed House Cotinctl. Bette Nobles was secretary. and Rosemary Jeffries was treasurer. Other members were Dorothy Hoat- -on. Nita Allison. Joanne Thomas. Martha Ann Sutton. Doris Shields. Beverly Edelblute. Mary Moore. Mary Ellen Carr, and Gene XVtld. MAGS AND EMS One of the most outstanding of the many Cottcy memories is that of the Mags and Ems. short for Magno' pertans and Emersons. the two social societies on the campus. Each girl became a member of one of these societies at a candlelight initiation which followed the Mag-Em drawing in the fall. The vows taken at this initiation gave her a deeper sense of the true meaning of Cottey an:l made it easier for her to understand what would be expected of her as a Cottey girl. l7rom the time of her initiation she became a loyal supporter of her society. She first proved her loyalty on Thanksgiving whin, at ll OO in the morning. the Mags played the Ems in the nrst big hockey game of the year. The goal posts were decorated with the red-and-white of the Ems and the green-andswhite of the Mags. Cheerleaders. dressed in their colors. kept the crowd excit,-d as the players fought for goals. Soon the game was river-a victory for the Ems. They were successful again in the volley ball game btit were forced to bow to the superiority of the Mags in basketball. One of Cotteys finest traditions, coffee hour on Sunday afternoon. was sponsored by the Mags and Ems. Coffee hour established an air of graciousness and friendliness. so characteristic of Cottey. During the year we found special occasions celebrated by formal dinners. planned by committees from the two sUClCIlCS The Valentines day and George XVashington's Birthday formals were perhaps the most picturesque of these. At the XVashington formal. Miriam XVeirtck. th: George from the Senior Class. and Mar Peacock, the Martha from the Junior Class. presided over a table of colonial aristocrats. The tables were decorated with cherry trees and the dinner was topped off with cherry pie, The Mag officers for the year were Nita Allison. president: Lucille Brodersen. vice-president: and kk'anda Groce. secretary-treasurer. The Ems had Dorothy Hoatson for their president. Barbara Frank as vice-president. and Mar Peacock as secretaryftreasurer. The Mag and Em cheerleaders were Jacque Tole and Joan Einley. and Vir- ginia kkiard and Georgia Johnson. respectively. SPHINX Quantities of labor, love. and leisure time have gone into the preparation of the completed Sphinx In early fall, activities began with the frantic efforts of the photography editor to get the students. the photographer. and the sun all together in one place at one time. Through the winter months. work continued. coming to a climax in early spring. when staff members were seen furiously rushing around tn attempts to make that deadline. XVork on the annual is divided into photography. art. literary. and business departments. Each division has tlS head. who correlates work in her department. Over all the staff is the editor-in-chief who, with an assistant editor chosen from the junior class. organizes individual efforts into one unified whole. Georgia and Carol Dunmire, a iunior and senior sister combination. formed a team that capably held down the positions of editor and assistant editor. respectively. Other stafl heads were Mary Ellen Carr. photography editor. Nita Mae Allison. literary editor: Patty Pettit, business editor: and Mary Rist, Art editor.
