ALUMNAE NOTES, 1912-1913 OFFICERS Miss Cordelia Veal President Mrs. Geo. Pollock Vice-President Miss Elizabeth Harris Recording Secretary Miss Joy Harper Corresponding Secretary Mrs. Frank Merriam Treasurer Commencement of 1912 closed the first year of Greater Snorter ' s ex- istence, and also the most brilliant year in the history of her Alumnae Association. Most appropriately, too, was it brought to a close; on Monday morning, June 1 Oth, a large and enthusiastic business meeting was held in the College parlors, Later the Annual Alumnae reunion took place in the College auditorium when the reader for the day, Mrs. Ethel Hillyer Harris of the Class of ' 76, in her own delightful way gave a charming sketch of College girl life at Shorter in her day, The Beautiful Land of Used-to-Be. On the evening of Tuesday, June 1 1th, Dr. and Mrs. Van Hoose gave to the Alumnae and graduating class a banquet which proved the most delightful occasion of the year. A spirit of enthusiasm prevailed ; the ties of love and loyalty which bound Alumna to Alumna and all to the Alma Mater were felt as never before. The initial fall meeting of the Association was held in October. It was an enthusiastic business meeting, many plans for the future were discussed. It was followed by a delightful tea. In November the Alumnae were hostesses at a beautiful reception given at the home of Mr. George Pollock to Dr. and Mrs. Van Hoose and the faculty. The Association numbers among the members many of Rome ' s most tal- ented women and brings together Shorter ' s daughters of many different years, but all bound together by a common interest and love. During its existence much work has been done by the Association along many lines. Each year it is the endeavor of the members to add something to the treasury. At present this fund, although growing, is idle; it is the wish of many of the members to erect on the College grounds a building, an Alumnae Hall, a work which may require years for its accomplishment, but which for many years to come will stand for the love and loyalty of Shorter ' s Alumnae.
