; Ul - ' I 1957 YAMACRAW OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY ATLANTA, GEORGIA ellen kinsey, editor DEDICATION to the student We sit in the sun and dream of a future that will be brighter because of Oglethorpe. The dorm is a great part of our college life . . . our room is something special . . . where we study, write home and find that extra bit of security . . . Where companionship is the warmest. x We sing with our voices, and we sing with our faces, which often reflect the song in our hearts mm The lighter moments The seriousness of our effort is re- flected by the long hours of study 4 1KI I The show must go on, come high water, that other thing, or tomorrow ' s quiz Another mood . . . e eat ... we converse ... we think . . . but mostly we eat Parties and dances give us the change-of-pace that gives balance to our college life The dancing is often slow, with that smooth beat that sets a mood . But just as often we swing it, with a beat. Q Our hope for the future can be seen in faces that reflect the vitality of youth, the energy of our generation, and its strong conviction for a good tomorrow. We accept the responsibility before us with confidence and humility; and we are grateful for the education that will make our tomorrow richer in understanding, richer in accomplishment, and richer in service. To live is to learn, to learn is to know, and to know is to live. X.. ACTIVITIES If.:-: .■ ■:■■■ f-tit, New and old acquaintances enjoy dancing The Get-Acquaintcd Party At the Get-Acquainted Party, the first event of the year, Freshmen and new students were introduced to the social life of Oglethorpe University. Music was provided by Charlie Smith and his boys. The dance was co-sponsored by the Social Committee and the Student Council. Dennis performs his juggling act Nancy, Bob and Barbara get acquainted Ellen hands out the brooms for the broom dance 10 The chow line Returning students at the Barbeque The Barbeque Everyone enjoys the meal George serves barbecue to Eddie and Lee The Barbeque is traditional at Oglethorpe Univer- sity. Each year the students and their parents, along with the faculty, are invited to attend. The function of the Barbeque is to familiarize the students and their families with the Oglethorpe campus, the students, and the faculty. Mrs. Coulborn is indroduced to Oglethorpe life Rat Week Upon the head of each freshman, be they male or female, a cap of unmistakable identification is placed. And before him lies the week to be remembered above all others. Just to make him feel at home on the Oglethorpe campus the Rat goes through Rat Week by experiencing from the funniest to the wildest degradations. He must hop, skip, and jump at the slightest beckoning of an honorable upperclassman. De- spite tired bones and weary muscles, he manages to come through, but definitely not alone, for the lasting friendships made are countless. As one Rat who made it through the trials said — The chairs of highest glory — held by upperclassmen; The sentences of utter gory — given by upperclassmen; Combine to make a friendship offered by upperclassmen. 13 The Capping Ceremony Bob Oliver, President of the Class of 1957, is capped by Dr. George C. Seward, Dean of the University The Senior Capping Ceremony, held in October, marks the beginning of that final year ; designates the Seniors, and this year introduced Oglethorpe ' s new President, Donald R. Wilson. Though the actual capping is enhanced by formality it still clings to the individuality Oglethorpe proposes. The President ' s stressing point man ' s understanding of his fellow- man only furthers the goals sought by the University. The President s Reception In honor of President and Mrs. Wilson and the new mem- bers of the faculty and the administrative staff, a reception was given in Phoebe Hearst ' s Great Hall. This was held following the Capping Ceremony, and served as a rather informal intro- duction for all new faces. 15 io ' 7 1 1 r ' fl ' j 1 1 1 1 1 -.- 1 r J 1 n j 5 L The Masquerade Party The Masquerade Party on October twenty-sixth turned out to be a re-enactment of Custer ' s Last Stand, for the Indians proved victorious over the vanquished whiteman. In a contest to choose the most original costumes John Harms and Sandy Carter, dressed as an Indian chieftain and his squaw, defeated all opponents, including cowboys, ghosts, and Romans. A juggling act by Dennis Michael enhanced the atmosphere of the Masquerade Party which contributed to the Halloween spirit on Oglethorpe campus. Indian chief John Harms and clown Dennis Michael Oh goodie . The Ghost Story Readings To add to the Halloween spirit the Ghost Story Readings were cleverly and weirdly handled by mem- bers of the Arts Club. The readings were definitely declared an eerie success as expressions of shock and horror were witnessed by those more stable students. Dr. Stanley Daugert reading 17 The Freshman Hayride Hay, harmony, and hotdogs kept the spirits high at the traditional Freshman Hayride which was threat- ened by rain and cold weather. The destination was a picnic area at Austell, Georgia, where the frostbitten hayriders toasted marshmallows, hotdogs, with fingers and toes. ' Where areywu? Guaranteed, untouched by human hands The Sadie Hawkins Day Dance Sadie Hawkins ' Day provides those of the supposed weaker sex with the opportunity to openly pursue the objects of their affections — MEN. To accommodate the female students of Oglethorpe University, a Sadie Hawkins Dance was held in the game room on November sixteenth. Entertainment, other than the cat and mouse chase, included the triumphant marriage ceremony of Daisy Mae and Li ' l Abner, performed by the Reverned Dr. Hodges. Daisy Mae and her catch I now pronounce you . . . ■ I The Christmas Formal Always a favorite among school functions is the Christmas Formal. This year was no different, as the Christmas spirit was really evident at the Biltmore Ball Room. The music of Arnold Hyde provided the atmosphere, and the students supplied the fun. 21 The Boa s Head Ceremony The traditional Boar ' s Head Ceremony, annually held at Christmas- tide, was the occasion for the initiation of new members of the Boar ' s Head Honorary Fraternity for 1956-1957. The title of the Fraternity is taken from the coat of arms of Oglethorpe University, the Boar ' s Head being a prominent part of the escutcheon. The ceremony included the presentation of the new Boar ' s Head members, singing by the choral group and Ila Varelmann, and other musical performances by members of the faculty and faculty wives. The Freshmen Sin Den Dancing to the rhythm of the jukebox Troubles, we ' ve got troubles; we ' ve got stacks and stacks of troubles What ' s behind the Green Door? This question was fired at the Freshman Class officers for an entire week preceding the Freshman Sin Den. Amid the atmosphere of a cellar tavern, Oglethorpe students poured out what troubles they had to a bartender, danced, and enjoyed a skit presented by the Literary Society wherein the queen of that notorious group was crowned. Annie, Queen of the Literary Society The Sin Den 23 Mountain music, full skirts, straw hats, and apple cider — the atmosphere for a good ole country hoe- down. Even well-rounded Oglethorpe students came to the square dance, do-se-do and prominaded. In between the square dances, soft lights and sweet music gave the dancers a chance to cool off and catch their breath for the next round of swinging partners. THE SENIOR SQUARE DANCE Swing your partner. 24 The Victory SULLV SHAMP MA-GEE VICTORY DANCE The Petrels were honored the night of their win over Valdosta State by a jubilant crowd at a Victory Dance given by the Humanics Student Association. 25 LORD AND LADY OGLETHORPE BALL The Lord and Lady Oglethorpe Ball was held in the Pom- peiian Room at the Biltmore Hotel. Friday, February 14 was the day the Student Body made their selection of Lord and Lady Oglethorpe and their court. That night the results of the election were made known as the Processional started and the Lord and Lady were crowned. Lord and Lady Oglethorpe, Jim Magee and Ellen Kinsey.

Skits were presented by various groups and organizations on campus. The purpose of Stunt Night is to raise funds for the yearbook. The Student Council had the winning skit. The Girls ' Dorm. Bob and Sandy. 28 THE PLAYS Angel Street was the smashing success of the season. The outstanding performance of the entire cast showed a remarkable sensitivity and understand- ing of the characters portrayed. The comedy of BHthe Spirit, in direct contrast with the melodrama of Angel Street, indicated the versatility of the ability of the Players. Barbara Ramsden and Dean Dobson. Kitty and Mac Willis Leading Man Paul Metzger and Leading Lady Kitty Kincaid. 29 BLACK AND WHITE FORMAL On April 5 the Freshman Class proved once again that they know how to give a real party. The dance was held at Robinson ' s Tropical Gardens with the largest turn out of any previous Black Snd White Formal. Congratulations to the Freshman Class. A good time was had by all. 30 31 U. M. O.

CLEAN UP DAY AND OPEN HOUSE May 4 — All dorms and buildings were open for inspection by the public in the Student Council sponsored Open House. On the preceeding day, students turned out to give the campus a final face-lifting. Pat and Pua getting ready for the big day. 32 . Candidate for President, Ted Bayley. Candidate for Treasurer, Tom Deacon. STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS AND AWARD NIGHT The election of Student Council officers is perhaps the most exciting part of the year to many of us. Everyone has a favorite candidate for which to campaign. The campus is changed for a week preceeding elections by posters, bulletins, and motorcades. Award Night is the night of elections. At this time various students are recognized for accomplishment in athletics, or- ganizations, and studies. The culmination of Award Night is the installation of the new Student Council. Charlie Smith, presiding at award night. 33 SPRING FORMAL The Spring Formal was held in the Main Ball Room of the Biltmore Hotel the Friday night before Graduation. The banquet, in honor of the Seniors, was followed by the final and most wonderful dance of the year. m Patient Alan signs Ina out.

The cycle is never closed, but is a spiral which always returns upon itself at some higher level of insight. Growth in everything which is human must remain the dominant objective for the individual and for Society. The Oglethorpe Book George C.

These words have followed the Senior the four years he has come; for his looking into himself, into his friends, into his school, and into his world has been this search. The Seniors began the year by the annual capping ceremony, sponsored the Square Dance, but even amid the rush of the rings and the confusion of invitations, time was taken to leave a gift of remembrance to the school.

With the Senior year in mind, the Junior Class decided to buy their rings early this year.

They are chosen for their sense of responsibility and honor in belief that such stu- dents are thoroughly capable of judging infractions of the Honor Code. The efficient functioning of the Honor Code, Court, and Committee, however, lies ultimately with each and every stu- dent. Honor depends upon each individual maintaining a de- sire to associate himself only with honest persons. Rou ' one: Howell Ragsdale, Janne Jolley, Chairman Sam Edleman, Carolyn Webb, Nancy Tarrant. Row two: Charles Gip- son, Al Sheppard. Not pictured: Bob Oliver, Marvin Lawson. HONOR COMMITTEE The Honor Code is an integral part of University life. The Code is a document drawn up by the stu- dents themselves in the conviction that college students are capable of establishing and maintaining hon- esty «mong their number. The Honor Committee, composed of one elected student from each class and a chairman appointed by the Student Council, has as its func- tion the investigation of violations of the Honor Code and the report- ing of the facts to the Honor Court.

THE OGLETHORPE LITERARY MAGAZINE The Oglethorpe Literary Magazine is an annua! publication by a small student staff. The articles for the magazine are furnished by the students, faculty, and alumni. Each year there is a contest among the students for the best single piece of writing. Three judges, usually faculty members, choose the winner, who is awarded a prize. Other awards are given for the best short stories, essays, and poems. The Literary Magazine gives the Oglethorpe student a chance to exhibit his talent in the literary field.

It takes months of practice and more prac- tice — learn that pattern — work that pattern — play that pattern. Take the courage against overpowering odds; the hope in the coach ' s heart; the spirit of the students, Cheerleaders, and pep band; and a young, fighting ball club.
