YAMACRAWj: 1} Senior Class Officers Edgar George David President Ralph A. Sinclair Vice-President James David Chesnut Secretary and Treasurer SENIOR CLASS POEM The Call Dreamer, ' tis Morning, And the hour to achieve! But the pink flush of daivning Reveals you in ease. The webs you ' ve been weaving are mystic and wise Too fragile, too sacred, too high — to despise. Awake, do you say From my making of dreams? Awake from Utopia Isle? With my dreams a poet, a visionist, I Without, unpatterned clay. So Truth and Reality away! ' Tis Morning, I say. And the thrush calls his mate. And the sunlight unravels your spell. The pictures you ' ve painted. The castles you ' ve built Like the latent seed in the shell Lie dormant ivithin! For what good if they be not real. And to what purpose if they come not true? So Dreamer, awake and achieve! s

YAMACRAW i In the fall of ' 22 we lost several of our most valuable members; these boys were rewarded for their diligent work, and were allowed to migrate to the class of ' 23. Those taking the forward step were Lawrence, Burton, Frazer, Jacobs, High- tower, Watkins, Copeland, Hollingsworth, Johnson, Kersey, Stafford and Cobb. This year we furnished the football team with Capt. David, Morris, Barten- feld, Whitehead, Hafele, Stephens, Campbell and Brown. On the track were Ivey and Tucker. Campbell was a member of the tennis team; Red Frazer was captain of the Cross Country team; and Morris was captain of the baseball team and was ably supported by Bryant and David. Gladys Crisler and Virginia Pairo were members of the Oglethorpe Players Club. In this our last year we received into our class Otis Jackson, Harry Teasley, Walter Gordy, Finch Scruggs, Wisdom O ' Neal, Lawrence and Robert Pfefferkorn, Misses Christine Gore, Mattie White Kellam, and Elizabeth Broughton. On the football team were Capt. Brown, Campbel l, David, Morris, Barten- feld. Whitehead, Stephens, Ivey and Gordy. Misses Kellam, Gore and Broughton are mainstays on the girls basketball team. Jackson is President of the Players Club, and will be supported by Misses Broughton, Pairo Sisters, Kellam, and Crisler. Capt. Bryant and Morris will see that we are well represented in baseball. In scholastic standing we are especially proud of Miss Crisler, Al Smith, Lawrence Pfefferkorn and Wisdom 0 Neal, for they have attained the highest honors that the University can bestow upon her sons and daughters. They are wearers of the Coat-of-Arms. Miss Crisler, Jackson, McMekin, David, L., Pfeffer- korn and Brown are members of Honorary Fraternities. The end of college days must inevitably come, and the class of ' 24 faces the future with no misgivings. Grateful to our Alma Mater for its invaluable educa- tional training, bound to each professor by the ties of endearing friendship, we shall soon go forth to earn a reputation for ourselves. The passing years will no doubt bring many changes. The raven locks will soon be silvered by the frost of time; the sparkling eyes will be dimmed; the noble brows will be furrowed; and the strong limbs will be enfeebled, but throughout all changes, the memories of our college days will remain fragrant and refreshing. The members of the class of ' 24 will go into different fields of labor, will be separated by many miles of space, and, no doubt, many will never again meet. Yet in the after years, as memory turns their thoughts backward to the days of long ago, they will all respond in the words of the immortal bard: Let fate do her ivorst, there are relics of joy; Bright dreams of the past ivhich she cannot destroy; Which come in the night-time of sorrow and cares And bring back the features that joy used to tvear; Long, long be my heart ivith such memories filled. Like the vase in ivhich roses have once been distilled. You may break, you may shatter the vase if you tvill. But the scent of the roses ivill hang to it still — R. 0. BROWN, Senior Class Historian.

% COKE WISDOM O ' NEAL, A.B. Chipley, Georgia CANDLER CAMPBELL, A.B. Marietta, Georgia PI KAPPA PHI PI KAPPA PHI Fate laughs at probabilities. ni sit by the side of the road and be a jriend of man. ' Secretary and Treasurer of Sophomore Class ' 22; Phi Kappa Delta (Honorary). Football ' 22- ' 23; Scrub Football ' 20- ' 21; Ten- nis ' 21. Peggy admits that he was born and raised in the sunny little Georgia town of Chipley, and it was there that he learned to be such an industrious salesman. Be- sides being a good salesman, O ' Neal is a good sport with the girls, having one as his real sweetheart, who tells him that his mustache is the cutest thing. He is one of the most industrious men in our class. If you ever happened around you would find him busily en- gaged at something. He is ne.ver idle. He won the Oglethorpe Coat-of-Arms, which is the highest honor that the school can bestow upon her sons. This is proof of Peggy ' s initiative, and argues well for his future career. Candler was born, bred and still lives in Marietta. He makes us think that he doesn ' t care much for the fair sex, but a fellow with that slow winning smile that he possesses, just can ' t keep away from them. When you meet blonde-headed Campbell, and that smile is cast upon you, you know that behind it is sincerity and a heart as true as gold. He is quiet in manner, but once in action he is all life, as he has proven by his magnificent two year career on the gridiron. Life is yours Chandler, and we know that you will make it more than worth while. Noiv, it ' s like this — brushes.
