Furman University - Bonhomie Yearbook (Greenville, SC)

Text from Pages 1 - 158 of the 1945 volume:

) IIBLISHED BY THE STUDENT BODY FURMAN UNIVERSITY ms Editor Co-Editor Business Manager Business Manager CL. In these pages The 1945 Bonhomie has attempted to catch the spirit of the students in their life on the campus, and to recreate it as clearly as possible in pictures and prose. This year the girls went back to Montague, and the boys returned to Geer. Furman had the largest women’s student body in its history. The draft continued to call Furman men into the service, yet, the number of men students was larger than that of last year. The Furman University $2,000,000 bund Campaign was launched under the direction of President Plyler. A few of the boys who had Been in service returned to classes. Increased interest in student activities resulted in the reorganization of several clubs. Although indications are that Furman is gradually beginning to return to normalcy, the students on both campuses are aware, perhaps as never before, that a war is on and that the day of victory is still in the future. It is the purpose of the 1945 Bonhomie to show by pictures that in spite of the war, Furman students still have that intangible something we call school spirit. Our memories of this year will be focused on a deeper appreciation of Furman spirit, a clearer insight into our lives and ideals, and a more determined hope that peace will come soon and that our ideals will be high enough to make it a lasting peace.

JOHN LANKY PLYLKR President ADMINISTRATION In Great Britain’s darkest hour His Majesty, King George VI, broadcasting his Christmas message to his people, said: “I feel we may all find a message of encouragement in the lines which in my closing words I should like to read to you: “I said to a man who stood at the gate of the year: ‘Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown,’ and he replied, ‘Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way.’ “May that Almighty hand guide and uphold us all.” It is my hope that you may go forth with the faith and courage that are necessary to meet all the difficulties that lie ahead. The present and future challenge the best that is within you, but with God to guide you, you cannot fail. 12 JOHN LANKY PLYLKR AT FURMAN CHARI. R$ I). RIDDLE. M.S. Registrar JAMES A. ORR. JR.. M.S.

Under this system, each Furman man is considered a gentleman until proven otherwise. Lying, cheating, and stealing arc the only violations, but a person found guilty of one of these charges is shipped. Council members are elected proportionately from each class to serve until graduation, their behavior meriting. David Jcnncss is president of the Council, with Herbert Stephens as vice-president, and John McDowell as secretary. I he other members arc Clyde Bizzell, Ellis Bryan, Krnest Kelley, Jack Lowndes, Kellam Prickett, Lawton Wells, John Young, John Cooley, and Kenneth Pool. In addition to its work of enforcing the honor system, the Council is entrusted with the task of conducting all student body elections. 84 COUNCIL WOMEN'S CAMPUS Composed of the student body officers, the house presidents, the Y. W. A., Y. W. C. A., and B. S. U. presidents, and representatives from the four classes and the day student group, elected annually by vote of the student body, the Student Council directs all academic and social activities according to the honor system. Its actions and decisions are based on the representative opinion of the women students.

T his non-judicial and non-executive body is empowered to do anything which does not encroach upon the rights and duties of the student body officers, the Student Council, and which is not within the range of faculty supervision. The Legislature of 1944-45 has undertaken to revise Fur man’s outmoded constitution. During first semester Sidney Burts served as president of this group, with Victor Greene as vice-president, and J. W. Pendergrass as secretary, and Russell Bellune as sergeant-at-arms. Other members were: Dean Couch, Frank Inman, T. J. Kelley, Conrad Canning, Clyde McAlister, Bill Odom, Chester Russell, Ed Stewart, and Bert Williams. The following new members were elected second semester to fill vacancies: Fred Ayers, Charles Clark, James Crocker, Paul I lenson, Bob McLane, Bobby Poe. 86 DAY STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION The Day Students’ Association aims to unify the day students and to bring the day and boarding girls into a closer relationship. The president and vice-president of the Association are memfcrs of the boarding Student Council, thereby bringing together the executive boards. Though it does not have a long list of activities to name, the Day Students’ Association aims mainly to make each day student feel that she really is a part of the Woman’s College, and that she should take part in its activities.

The 194-1 BONHOMIE The purpose of the Freshman Advisory Board is to aid freshmen in becoming acquainted with college life. Members of the board direct the activities of orientation week, help the freshmen choose their courses, and serve as counselors to groups of freshmen through-out the year. This year the board has been under the direction of Lewis Barnett, vice-president of the student body. Members of the board include: Russell Bellune, Clyde Bizzell, Jillis Bryan, Victor Greene, Kellam Prickett, Glenn Thomas, and Bert Williams. 88 The Freshman Advisory Board assists with the freshman orientation program on the women’s campus each year; its function is to help new students become quickly and happily adjusted to college life. The advisers, appointed by the vice-president of the student body with approval of the director of personnel, act as counselors to the freshman groups.

WOMEN'S CAMPUS 61 QUARTERNION In 1903 R. M. Mauldin, Rex Rice, C. F. Haynesworth, and J. C. Keys organized the Quarternion Club for campus leaders. Quarternion tradition is that new members wear red bandannas and whitewash “Old College,” the club house and oldest building on the Furman campus. Ellis Bryan is the only undergraduate member of the club this year. SENIOR ORDER Leadership, scholarship, dependability, cooperativcncss, personal appearance, unselfish service, and sincerity—these arc the qualities that determine which girls of the rising senior class will be tapped to wear the Senior Order pin. Membership in Senior Order, the honorary leadership society of the Woman’s College, is limited to twelve per cent of the junior class. At the informal meetings each Monday night, the members discuss the problems of the organizations with which they arc connected, and endeavor to coordinate the interests and activities of each organization. The members arc: Suzanne Bennett, Frances Breland, Pauline Bryson, F.llcn Denny, Ruth Miller Kllis, Mildred Hatchcll, Marian Horton, Martha Keys, Lillian Simpson, Marian Smith, Ruth Walton. We won t forget . . . our initiation in the City Park at two a. m. . . . our suppers at the Blue Ribbon . . . the morning in chapel we were tapped by our Senior Order sisters . . . the morning we tapped the juniors who would next wear the Senior Order pin. . . . 91 HAND AND TORCH Membership in Hand and Torch is the highest honor that can l e bestowed on a man at Furman. The club is composed of those few men who have attained exceptionally high scholastic averages, and who are otherwise outstanding on the campus. Not more than one-tenth of the graduating class may be chosen. Members are chosen by a faculty committee. David Jixxm, T. J. Kiu.iv, John Coolkv, Lvtxu C«i � Ciiaitxx Mim� m 1927: R. S.

With a president for each dormitory, a proctor on each floor—two in Main and Montague, they’re so large —the halls are relatively quiet during the specified times. The presidents are elected by vote of the student body (all but Rosemary’s must be seniors), and the proctors are appointed by the Board for six weeks’ periods. At its head is Marian I lorton, president. Regular members include Martha Keys, president of the student body; Leila Nixon, secretary of the student body, Ruth Walton, fire chief; and the six house presidents: Louise Pontious, North; Betty Pope, East (Gardner); Dorothy Mapp, West; Lolita Evans, Main (Townes); Pauline Bryson, Montague; and Betty Bobo, Rosemary. The Board meets every Thursday night to administer the majors and minors accumulated during the week, and failure to attend is met with a penalty of two minors—so not only arc the Board members to give penalties for infractions of rules, but they are also ready to take them. 109 CLOISTER Glenn Thomas...................President Lawton Wells..............Vice-President The Cloister was founded in 1920 to encourage writing and to give recognition to students who excel in this field.

Ill The BONHOMIE David Jennkm iw� « Here is where we have the chance to say— “What a job! but we hope you like it.” Difficulties such as no film, no flash bulbs, no paper, a limited budget, and a general scarcity of everything, seemed to haunt us. But everyone cooperated beautifully—even those not connected with the staff—helping in a lot of little ways. We only hope that The ’45 Bonhomie has succeeded in reflecting such a wonderful spirit. If looking through these pages helps you to remember the people you knew and the things you did this year, we’ll feel that our work was well worthwhile. M2 It iwj � tv r like tku Special thanks goes to Ann Lawrence, Jean Pinner, Aimce Patterson, Betty Gray, J. B. Howell, and Kay Pee Prickctt for helping with senior write ups. With Kitty, Hazel, Ruth, Kinsey, and Kat typing, Gene and Dean taking pictures, Ruth chasing club presidents, Sue and Lawton on the ads, Omena and Tom helping out, and Miss Don-nald checking the copy—our chances for a fine book look good.

They proved to be excellent fraternity material, taking the lead in campus activities and filling some of the.class offices. They also proved their mettle in sports—they beat the KA’s and the ministers in intrafraternity football. 1 lighlights of the year included the stag party at Dave Stanscll’s during rush week and the house party at Wildwood. . . .

The fighting spirit of the Purple and White was as strong as it ever was. The team lost several valuable players because of mid-year graduation, induction into the armed service, and injuries. Among those missing in some of the later games were Carl McMahon, Vergil Hudson, William Hawkins, and Marion West. I ligh scorers for the Furman quintet were Melvin Bell with 216 points, l.ee Rowland with 80, Ia u Williams tallying 64, and Ernest Campbell, 51. Bell ranked sixth in the list of high scorers for the state. 1 le maintained an average of 12.5 points per game. This year’s scrappy five were ably coached by Selwyn “Shorty” Edwards, who admired his boys as much for their sportsmanship in their defeats as for their skill in their victories.

You'll wake seven hitter enemies of the re t! Why did you EVER agree to art as judge? And besides, you're a judge of battles and kings and diplomacy, not beauty!' And then I laid the eight photographs out before me and spent the entire Sunday afternoon try-sag to deride. So. 8 (Roma Williams) looked like a Clamour Girl from Hollywood. So. 3 (Ruth Ellis) seemed to have poise and maturity beyond her ears. So. 7 (Mary Porter) i lovely! So, 6 (Maureen I. ov in good) looked so alive! So. I (Suzanne Bennett) has finely chiseled features. So. -I (Mildred Half hell) looks like a beauty Rembrandt would have chosen. So. 2 (Ellen Denny) is brimming over with blythe spirits. But So. 5 .. . she seems to combine nearly all of those characteristics of beauty. And so, So. 5 it is! But to So. I, 2, 3, -f, 6, 7, and 8 ,. . believe me, it a dose race.
