Page Eight 15 tf ■ e_ CR i kftrl) nf Iprtrr LFRED SHORTER, business man, philanthropist and Christian gen- tleman, founded Shorter College in 1877. He spent $125,000.00 in buildings and left $40,000.00 for Endowment. His was a princely gift for those da s — the largest contribution to education ever made by a Georgian up to that time. For thirty-three years the College remained upon the site that Col. Shorter gave it, doing a notable work for the young xx ' omen of the Soutii. During these years the South was poor and nothing was added to the building or endowment. In 1910 it became apparent to the Trustees that the College must be mo ed to a larger site, new buildings erected, its standard raised and better equipment provided, or it would die for want of students. The Trustees decided to raise the money necessary to preserve the life of the institution. In this undertaking, the leadership was assumed b three men : V. W. Brooks gave $25,000.00 ; J. L. Bass gave his beautiful suburban home, including thirty-two acres of ground valued at $25,000.00, and J. P. Cooper subscribed $25,000.00 to which he added a large amount, no one knows how much, during the time that the new building was being erected. Subscriptions were asked of the people of Rome who responded with liberality and enthusiasm. Five large buildings, all fireproof, were erected and the College was opened in its new and beautiful site, October 17th, 1011. Since that time the preparatory school has been entirely abolished; entrance require- ments raised to fifteen units : four years of college work prescribed ; physical, chemical and biological laboratories installed making it possible for a student to major in either of these subjects ; departments of education and psychology established ; library increased from fifteen hundred to over seventy-five hundred volumes; forty new pianos purchased ; a three-manual pipe organ placed in the chapel ; a standard of work de- manded of students gaining recognition for the work of the college from leading colleges and universities of America; three hundred dollars invested in buildings and furniture and twenty-five thousand in college conservatory equipment. Also forty thousand dollars in cash has been added to its endowment with sixty thousand yet to be collected. This added to the amount which the college will receive from the Baptist $75,000,000 campaign will bring its total endowment to about $300,- 000.00. This has been done during the past nine years, during five of which the world was engaged in the greatest war of all history. ii oo ay ' . l fage Nine T Haaft to ifflaplrljurHt uv Page Ten c- nam at ilaplriiurBt Page Eleven ;i i . u A lUintrr S crnt Page T welvt c) c: L: Kotartt Siakr in Mintpr -41 ■ t:r-Jl.

Betty had come to the country to spend part of her vacation and she was now seated with her grand- mother in the sunniest cor- ner of the wide porch. Betty said, Grandmother, please tell me about Shorter. Now that I have finished Hij h School, I just must decide where I shall go to college. Of course, Mother and Dad want me to go to Shorter, but I want to be sure I ' ll be happy and you know they ' ll be satisfied if I am. Well, dear, the best way to impress the wonders of Shorter upon you is to show you my old memory book, so run up in the attic and look in that little old trunk and bring me that large book with Shorter Memories on its cover. When Betty had gone, Grandmother dropped her sewing and sat gazing at the distant hills, which in her imagination became again the beloved Shorter Hill and Lavender Mountains. A glad smile took the reminiscent one, as she pictured her granddaughter amid the old scenes she loxed so well. Betty appeared with the book, wiped the dust off with her handkerchief and laid the book on her grandmother ' s knees. Seating herself on a footstool, she said : Now, grandmother, begin at the beginning and tell me everything. Well, dear, on the very first page is a description of my arrival at Shorter in September, 1917. There were one hundred and four of us; perhaps no greener than the average Freshman Class, but goodness, we were green enough. We all were bundles of curiosity and homesickness and to divert our thoughts, the Sophomores hid all our shoes one night while we were at dinner. Then came Freshman election and here is a picture of our President, Elmer Bell. These faded ribbons were once the proud green and black, which we chose for our colors. Our whistle was, ' Oh, where are the Freshmen? ' and the answer ' All around ' . Of course, we changed it every year as we changed our class name. The next event is the party our fine Juniors gave us in the gym. My dear, there was never another class like that and naturally we adored them every one. Just a short time before the holidays, we gave them a Christmas part -. See this little tree I ' ve drawn on this page to remind me of it? After the holidays we had our first real College exams and these marks I ' ve pasted in here represent many liours of hard ' cramming ' . All the ear we had looked for- ward to our feast, so while thunder rolled and liglitning flashed and Sophomores slept, the Freshmen went to their feast. Our stunt was patriotic in nature. This naturally made it a success. This year we won the cup at the fool meet, which, however, was no reflection on our ability, although Sophs thought it quite appropriate. The Fresh- men entertained in the dining room on Washington ' s Birthday. These little hatchets Pat e Tiuetity-eiglit -t and cherries were some of the favors. The program included ' The Marriage of Liberty and Uncle Sam ' . These pictures show some of the quaint costumes. I haven ' t anything else for this year, exxept a few snapshots taken as we were leaving for vacation. Cjraiidmother, who is this pretty girl on this page? Bett wanted to know. That is Isabel JMcKee, whom the Sophomores chose as their president when they came back in the fall of 1Q18. The five girls on this page are our new members, Emmelil Crumpton, Penick, ' Monk ' , Lucile Morris and Janice Singleton. We began our wonderful year with Freshman initiation. Then nothing unusual happened until we entertained on ' alentine ' s Day. These are some of the rosebuds and blue-birds, used in decorating the dining room. Josie Lou Lightsey and Lamkin took the leading parts in the operetta we ga e. A short time after this we put on a stunt, of which the Faculty meeting was the main feature. This year we won the Tennis Cup. In May the Seniors took us to the Country Club for a party. And then came the Sophomore banquet at the Forrest Hotel, given, for our Seniors. It was here that they passed that most wonderful of all songs down to us. You ' ve heard me sing, ' Highminded ' , many times, dear, but never with the thrill of that first time. This place used to be occupied by a small white daisy, one from the daisy chain, but it withered into dust long ago. It seems but yesterday that Lida Key was knocking on my door at five o ' clock in the morning and telling me to hurry on with my scissors and waste basket to go for daisies. After Commencement, we told our Seniors good-by and sadly went home, because we knew Shorter would never be the same without Class ' 19. In September, 1919, we found only a handful of our old class back, but they were as full of ' pep ' , as e used to say, as ever. Lee Ella Dean, Helen Swanson and Louise Abernathy joined us this year and this is a picture of our President, AUie Mae Boone. We looked nur Freshmen over and pronounced them perfect, so we set about giving them a party worth ' of such matchless perfection. It was an Oriental party in the gym. Helen drew these sketches of some of the costumes. Since our arrival at Shorter two years before, we had looked forward to the Thanksgiving, when e should entertain. We used a woodland setting and a Pilgrim Program in the dining room. This was followed bv a play in the Auditorium, ' The Broken Rosary ' , written by Marjorie Lamkin. Here is a copy of the invitation to the Jazz party our fine Freshmen gave us. It was decidedly the cleverest party ever given at Shorter. This black person is a cartoon of Mr. Sad_ e Weathers, leader of the Jazz band. The time finally came when we should ask our Sophomores for next year. We asked them on Sunda night and took them to the Busy Bee for early breakfast next morning. Before we left this ear we elected our annual staff. My dear, we are almost through the book, but the most important part is yet to come. We had looked forward to the time when we should be Seniors for so long and we didn ' t feel half as big as we thought we would on that first Sunday, when we wore our caps and gowns to church. T his is Allie, again our president, as she looked that day in her cap and gown. Yes, she does look rather tired and worn, but we all did, after sitting through church with those awful chokers on. Page- Tiventy-nine - At the first class meeting we found four new members, Margaret May, Elizabeth Tate, Beulah Furgeson and Wray Hass. All these pumpkins and witches and ghosts are remains of our Hallowe ' en party down at the Lake. In the resurrection of Shorter ' s ghosts none of the skeletons were forgotten. Even the swimming pool was not allowed to rest in peace. The night before Hallowe ' en our Sophomores sang to us in the court and then took us to a feast in the gym. I can still see all that food spread on the floor with a huge jack-o ' -lantern in the middle of it. Soon after this the alumnae association entertained the Seniors in the Martha Shorter Tea Room. These pink and white scraps of crepe paper were left from our booth at the alumnae Bazaar for Endowment Fund. We were very proud of the five dollar piece we won for taking in the most money and ours was the smallest class, too. Just as soon as exams were over we were given Senior table — perhaps we felt more like Seniors the night we marched in the dining room with caps and gowns on, than we ever had before. I remember what a hard time I had bending this twig in the shape of the Crook and here is the date it was hidden. This was the first year the Crook had been hidden since 1916, when our ' Grandmothers ' fought so well for it and handed it down to Class ' 19, who in turn gave it to us. I see I have a copy of the Crook rules too. The days following the hiding were filled with excitement, both for Seniors, who had the Crook and Juniors, who looked for it. After this we all settled down to real work and the poor annual staff did double duty. Time passed quickly and it was May before we realized that the Christmas holidays were over. The Seniors were given a banquet at the Forrest Hotel by the Sophomores and it was here that we passed on to our ' Chillun ' , the same old song ' Highminded ' , that two years before had been given to us in the same place. Then came Commencement, with Class Day and Graduation. These ribbons were the white and gold with which my diploma was tied. These last faded snapshops were taken as one by one the members of old ' 21 sadly left Shorter Hill. Grandmother softly closed the book, with a sigh for the old days so full of happi- ness and content. FinalU ' she spoke: Dear, the book is finished, but the history of Class ' 21 is not finished. Each member has gone on through the years adding new fame and glory to its history. Betty with a suspicion of tears in her eyes, said softly, Grandmother, I know now that I shall go to Shorter. The question isn ' t whether I should be happy there — it ' s now — would I ever be happy anywhere else? Kathleen Mullin ' S. Page Thirty u IT (§fSitnB of i ' rniar OIlaHH f a ? Thirly-one CLARA LOUISE ABERNATH Tracy Cit , Tennessee. Louise has been with us only two years and we all regret that she has not been here longer, for she is so adaptable and tactful that she has acquired friends in abundance. She is intellectual and original and has a decided talent along literary lines. Any day in English class she ma ' be found composing a masterpiece on any subject. She is also witty, impulsive and fun-loving and in the various entertainments of ' 21, is always ready to do her part. In class stunts and parties she is indispensable. Her college spirit is boundless and doubtless she will do much to keep alive and perpetuate that true Shorter spirit of which we are all so proud.

Cile , the young giant of our class, drifted from the Berg to Shorter in 191 7. She may have been a little, bit green but she kept it all to herself ; and for four years she has worked steadily towards the goal — an A.B. Degree. However, her toil was not injurious to he for she kept her store filled with groceries and always replenished her energT,- with a good supply of snoozing. She is very fond of mathematics es- pecially the higher kind as asymptotes, parabolic families and hypercyloids ; some- thing to e.xercise the brain and not the hands and body. As for cutting classes, that ' s a small matter. She even goes so far as to take cuts out of town. Cile isn ' t so bad after all, though, for she has many good qualities which help to make her a well- balanced young lady. She has made a good record in her literary work and some fame on the athletic field. She is perfectly fair and frank with you and tries to please everyone. Go to her in the right manner and you will surely get what you want. Her greatest ambition is to get an M.D. degree and may she be successful. It may be said of her, A friend in need is a friend indeed . Honors: Eunomian; French Club ' IS; Volley Ball ' 19; Baseball ' 19; Sketch Club ' 21. Page Thirty-three - J E] MER BUCHANAN BELL, A.B. Americus, Georgia. Elmer came to Shorter in ' 17. We hear she won a scholarship to Agnes Scott and we know she deserved it. Any way she showed good sense by coming to Shorter and as President of our high-minded class during our first year on the hill she proved that she had it in her . Elmer has been a hoo-doo off and on during her whole college career — she makes such a good one that the council can ' t seem to let her remain out of office long at a time. Nobody can imagine a Shorter Glee Club with- out her guitar. You would think by the way she plays it, that she spends at least her summers in Hawaii. However, she tells us that she has always remained in Americus and that next summer instead of visiting that distant island, she will make her home in Hampton. Everybody on Shorter Hill has seen the brown car here so often that thc. are not surprised. We can only wish her happmess and verily say Americus ' and Shorter ' s loss will be Hampton ' s gain.

Lonoke, Arkansas. Although b nature a leader, Allie Mae has been known to allow herself to be led for the amusement of the college community as long as it was to further the cause of Shorter. Oh, yes, Allie Mae was led in her Sophomore year. Surely you remember the war drive. Who was the monkey following the organ-grinder and taking up collection and giving such a convincing impersonation that one wondered why he had not always believed in evolution? Seriously though, for variety and strength in dramatic ability ' 21 feels herself extremely fortunate in possessing Allie Mae. As peaks illustrative of both strength and character, consider her achievements in the Shakesperean plays in the portrayal of Bottom, Touchstone and Portia. While her histronic talent interprets for us the Shakesperean characters it is her striking per- sonality that wins for her both admiration and friends.

Swainesboro, Georgia. Here is Marjorie. She is one of the most dignified and most literary members of our class. She has a very emotional temperament and any time may be found writ- ing themes or decorating envelopes with cartoons. Ambitious and eager to make the most of all her opportunities ' she completed her work in three and a half ears, and went home for a well-earned semester ' s vacation. The first impression of Marjorie is that she is very quiet, but on closer acquaintance one learns that still water runs deep and that she is always a wide-awake girl with all sorts of original ideas hidden behind an e.xterior so reserved. It is not strange that a girl of this type should be appreciated outside of Shorter, and we predict for her a very successful career. What- ever may be her choice the good will of the college will follow her. Honors: Polomnian: Periscope Staff. -! - Page Thirty-six Q£ - f .- 9 ADDIE LOU BROOKS, A.B. Martin, Tennessee. Addie Lou is tlie most unassuming member of the class, being natural!) quiet and demure. Siie lias made great plans for a teaching career. Nevertheless her great- est delight is in the planning of her home. Also she is rather fod of cooking and sewing, all of which points to something other than teaching. Addie Lou is a lovable mi.xture of fun and unselfishness, she is happiest when doing something for a friend. With a keen sense of humor she loves nothing better than a good jike. Her favorite study is history and her favorite pastime, sleeping, dividing her time equally between the library- and her bed. Honors: PoKmnian. Page Thirty-seven -X- -n I ETHEL JOSEPHINE CARLTON, A.B. Moultrie, Georgia. This picture is not very characteristic of Ethel, for you must confess that she looks rather demure . She can be demure , but when we think of her, this trait does not come to our minds first. Ethel is noted and loved for her wit and constant good humor. The mo?t serious remark, when phrased by her, provokes a laugh — unless she has a good reason for being serious! During her Senior year Ethel has ad- ded to her accomplishments the ability to play the piano and the wisdom of long hikes . When looking back over their years in college, many a Senior can point out the timidity of her Freshman year and the audacity of her Soph experi- ences. Yet we do not believe Ethel had the trials of passing through these stages. She came to us a brave little Freshman, with plenty of pep and an abundance of clever ideas. This storehouse of pep , ideas, and wit has lasted throughout her four years on the hill, and we are certain that it will remain with her through life.

Lee Ella rejoined ole ' 21 last year after an absence of a year and we are especially glad that she returned because she is the particular kind of girl that any class would be glad to claim for a member. She is full of fun, wit and humor at all times an d has a pleasing personality. Also she is what we term on all ' round sport. She has the distinction of being the only girl in the college appUing for a B.S. degree. Her major is Home Economics ' ' . M ! what a good wife she will make some man! It is Lee ' s ambition to go to New ' ork and study dress designing and we believe she would be successful, for she is very original — in fact one of our most original members and that is saying much for ' 21 is noted for its originality. We expect to hear from Lee Ella in the future.

One might look at Phosa on first acquaintance and j . say pepper — from her hair, but upon closer acquaint- - ' ance they would change their verdict to pep , for Phosa ' s share of this quality amounts almost to a monopoly. She has many friends who always look her up when they are inclined to feel blue. She is very talented in music and it is always a joy to watch her fingers as they twinkle over the keys. A music recital is sure to be a succe;s if Phosa is on the program. Also she has a splen- did alto voice and takes a part in almost every quartette that sings on Shorter Hill.

She is a very talented pianist and by close application to her work has been able to get her music diploma after onU ' three years. She has held the position of Practice Superin- tendent in the Music Conservatory two years, in which position she has proved to be very capable.

This is Fatty or Brutus , you may call her either name, but just between you and us, we must say that she responds more quickly to the name of Brutus . Her friends did not give her this name merely for historical reasons. They knew it would please her for there is a modern Brutus who lives in South Georgia and from whom Marion hears occasionally . As for the other name, Fatty , we must in- form you that she is not so large as her name implies. There are even several Fresh- men and Juniors who are more noted for their avoirdupois. When anyone has an attack of blues, she runs to see Fatty , for Blues are unknown to her. She is the joUiest one on Senior Hall. When one sees Marion alone the first question is, Is Heathen out of town? She and Heathen have been roommates since Freshman days and one is rarely seen without the other. Evidently they enjoy each other ' s company? We are predicting a bright and happy future for our best natured Senior. Honors: Polymnian; McDowell Choral Club 18, ' 19, ' 20. ■!fit! :: ..

Mr. Fowler, as the most feminine of our Seniors is called, has a way of getting anything she wants without ever trying. We don ' t know whether this is due to her renowned beauty or lovable disposition. She sa s she is timid and her quick blushes lead most people to believe what she says about it. But the wa she gets you told sometimes makes some of us have our doubts. Frances is indefference itself and the joke on the rest of us is that she always has as many friends as the most politic among us. Frances ' worst fault is putting things off until the last minute. She always gets things done but she keeps all her friends worried for fear she will never have anything ready on time. As the dining-room door is being closed, Frances squeezes through much to the disgust of Steve, the head waiter. If you want a good laugh, get this so-called timid Senior to mock the eccentricities of those with whom she comes in con- tact (teachers not excluded). Honors; Polvmnian ; Epsilon Delta; H. O. T.

Curiosity killed the Cat , but Lula seems to thrive on it. She calls it intellectual curiosity. It may be that but whatever it is, she is bubbling over with it. Lula has a particularly musical laugh which sometimes rings out at midnight. For execs , it is as good as an identification tag. Lula ' s home is on Senior Hall but she may be found almost any time on Second Floor of Hall One. Lula has not even a bowing acquaintance with any grade under A . She presides with great dignity and fluency as president of El Club Espanol and it was once thought that she might give a Spanish pla for her Senior recital in Expression. With all her work she has time for her jokes, which are many and pointless ; the most noted of these being the man with the dollar. Lula, with her talent and winning personality shines in the dramatic world of Shorter. She gives promise of shining in the dramatic world of America if her daily letters do not interfere with her career.

Of course Wray likes the Sophomores. Ve all do. But Wray likes the Freshmen. Especially does she love to call out the window to Second floor. Hall Two. She gets thrilled and excited and they do too, but we don ' t much blame them. We wouldn ' t know how the Gym would look without Wray — sometimes at the piano, but more often dancing with — oh, well, we all know without putting down the actual facts. And her talent — don ' t stop here for she is fond of expression. A play wouldn ' t be complete without Wray as blushing Mrs. Newlywed, or some petite old maid. And let ' s don ' t forget athletics, for she had several arm bands for olle - ball and basketball teams, though one of them is Rose and Black instead of Green and Black.

It takes onl - a glimpse to prove the former, but feu- are satisfied with anything so brief, for there are sparkling eyes and attractive dimples and ever so many fascinating characteristics. As for the brains, well, they are quite sufficiently proven by the As in the Dean ' s record book ; if you are so lucky as to get a peep into that sacred volume. Ida is a Senior in Piano, one of the melody slingers on the hill. She can sing with the best of them, being prominent in such organizations as the Y. W. Chorus. If anyone was asked to sum her up in one word the word would quite probabl) be versatile . It must be also said that she is very level-headed. She has no trouble in waking up and she knows when to be serious. Her decisions are immediate and permanent. It is a lucky person who has Ida for a friend, for she is loyal always, and a friend extremely well worth having.

It is difficult to enumerate all the things that she has done to attain this place in the hearts of her classmates. However, two of her outstanding characteristics are originality and loyalty. One could not say that she would win the contest at Shorter for the most daring , yet the term timid could never be applied to Liz . Will any of us ever forget, how, when, in our history, some big issue was at stake, Liz would immediately stand and with flashing eyes express herself — after which, somehow matters would become smooth once more? We must not pass by Liz ' s fun-loving side. No one enjoys a laugh more than she and it is a treat for one to look at her — for the fact that she is enjoying it spreads a similar feeling all around.

When we hear someone whistling merrily, Ta-hie- ra-Po-sei-do-nia ! we know it must be Margaret. She is at that moment recalling Florida State, where she was for three years before coming to Shorter. However, there isn ' t a girl on the hill who las more Shorter spirit than Margaret. She simply loves us — that ' s all — and we love her. Margaret has entered enthusiastically into every phase of the college life. She ran a close race with two other girls in the popularity coite t. Her frineds are many, ranging from Liz to Miss Coulter. Margaret is noted for her thoughtful- ness of others. If anyone has a headache, Margaret is the first one to notice it, and her massages are wonderfully helpful. She is especially interested in Domestic Science , handsome colonial homes and Yankee boys . If she were a Junior, Shorter would doubtless lose her. Since she is a Senior we consider ourselves for- tunate for having had her in our class a year.

The nickname does not suit her at all. It is best explained by what Miss Wendel said one night in Student Body meeting, If all heathen were as nice as this one. Shorter would do well to have more . Everyone likes Heathen for she is the same to all. If she has ai enemy, we have not located her. Heathen possesess great executive ability aside from that necessary in stealing men ' s hearts. She is known as Mr. Smith by her suite-mates, because of her ability in repairing furniture and electric fixtures. She loves to read and we dare say this knowledge she is storing away will be a great advantage to her some day. She e en threatens to read most of the time on her honeymoon! We wonder?

And speaking of being business-like, Oh m ' ! Just ask her about money and she can tell you. Furthermore she is splendid in athletics and is such a good student that the answers she shoots the professors suit them to a T . As to taking notes, no one can enter the rare with her.

That person best known to the student body as Miss Lillian and to the chosen few as Doc , has made quite a remarkable record in her four years. In her Senior year she has been crowned queen of the Hoo-doos and has been properly missed by all the Freshmen. But her talents are not few, while her marked impersonating ability was discovered in her Sophomore year, and aspiring toward a Ph.D. she was fondly nick- named Doc , ( ne of her favorite occupations being that of setting forth advanced styles. Being voted the most influential girl in school, she has properly and consistently turned her influential spotlight toward a Shorter menagerie. She is inclined toward the study of Goats. Seriously speaking, Lillian will be long remembered at Shorter and she is one of whom the class is justly proud. Honors: Polymnian; Epsilon Delta; H. O.

Just what has gained so much for Penick cannot be placed on any one particular characteristic, for from her friendly grin and happy disposition to her endless performing of favors for others, she is equally winning, and she has the happy faculty of adjusting her moods to those of her friends.

Should you pass her in the hall you would see a small boy- ish-looking person with bobbed hair. Some of the more dignified members of the class had their doubts about the combination of bobbed hair and a Senior cap and gown. But Dot has proven that the combination is ideal. Dot can be both serious and business-like and has held many offices of responsibility.

As for athletics one could scarcely say Mary Lou has taken a prominent part, for she does not feel inclined that way but rather towards the expression department. Many hours has she rehearsed plays and recitals which have delighted her many friends, as well as the college community.

She is one of Shorter ' s best girls, capable of getting up and giving a speech with- out even swallowing hard . To enumerate her many good deeds would be as difficult as to debate on How many angels, at one time, can stand on the point of a needle . During her three years at Shorter, Janice has worked untiringly in Social Service Work, and has truK been successful. Her success is due to her thoughtfulness, dependability, broadmindedness, intellect and power to inspire her hearers with strong and beautiful ideals. We wish for Janice the best in life in the accomplishment of her greatest ambition, which is to cross the seas and become a missionary in foreign lands.

W. and has accomplished much, both at Shorter and in West Rome and we predict that she will be remembered much longer than the average Shorter graduate. Also Helen has talents that run along other lines than that of Y. W., for she spends much of her time in the art studio and her clever cartoons even rival those of Bud Fisher in their popu- larity with Shorter girls. Helen is just the average fun-loving American girl with some improvements. She is the friend of every girl on the campus and can speak a good word for the very worst of us whenever the cause presents itself. She plans to go to China as a missionary, but we are rather dubious about that, and believe there is a very different line of work for her. Honors: Eunomian; Secretary Art Lovers ' Club ' 18; D. I.

In fact she has more than her rightful share of both. V oted the most intellectual girl at Shorter, she has lived up to her reputation unfail- ingly. The gain of the world of surgery will prove a great loss to vaudeville. Years ago Viola had to decide between Johns Hopkins and the Follies. There is no doubt that she would score a great hit in songs like Everybody Calls Ale Honey . Viola goes through each day smiling and unruffled by the troubles that molest other poor mortals. Her chief ambition is to look innocent . Her outstanding characteristic is her honesty. It has been said that she would not steal a base in a baseball game — in which she usually stars.

Thus she has been with us only a short time but she has proved herself a loyal member and supporter of the class and we regret she has not been with us longer. She is a splendid student but it is not only in the classroom that she shines, for as a helper in the tea-room she is unsurpassed. She is a jolly good pal and has all the qualities that go to make a good friend. She is especially fond of Philosophy and English. Her story of The Cat and the Corpse rivals even those of Poe in its strange and impressive descriptions and if Elizabeth was mediuml inclined, doubtless she could convince most people that it was reall dictated by Poe. Her ambition is to get a Ph.D. from Chicago and we believe she will do it, for. when a person is so bountifully supplied with gray matter as Elizabeth, she should be able to do anything she wishes.

During her four ears she has tried almost every course in school, beginning with a 15. S., slicing in a B.O. and ending A.B. Perhaps she will return next year and try B.M. However, to those who know her, it would seem impossible that she could ever find any greater success in anything than in her charm as a reader. Originality is the key-note of her life. No one can ever tell what the lady will do next. At her home in Hogansville she sleeps in one house, eats in another, and receives her visitors in a third. However do not think Beth is a flighty butterfly, for she is as reliable as a Ford . Perhaps in this lies a part of her great charm as a friend and a good all-around sport.

Consequently after three and a half years of being a town girl she decided to become a dweller on the heights of Shorter Hill. She has not been with us long enough for us to know many of her little characteristics, but we have learned that she is a splendid student and loves to work. No one would be the least bit surprised if she should even write a poem on work. She never gives the Hoodos a bit of trouble and if she did they would know exactly where to find her — with a certain Sophomore. Honors: Eunnmian. Page Sixty-four LUCY JANE WARTERS, A.B.

There are social stars, athletic stars, and intellectual stars: of the intellectual stars, there is none brighter than our Lucy. She is one of those few girls who always make A . Yet Lucy is not one bit conceited. Her teachers say that she is a real student. Don ' t think that Lucy spends all her time studying, for she doesn ' t. She enjoys fun as much as anyone and succeeds in having a good time almost all the time.

There are four happy years since our yacht was christened, At the hand of the sponsor nineteen; Advice the champagne, it broke and we listened, ' Twas yacht ' 21, the black and the green. The good crew of the yacht numbers thirtv and three, As a product of master-minds; Who ' ll bless more the work of their faculty. As the thread of after-years unwinds. The white sails of character stand square to the blast. That may blow either evil or good; There can be no fear for her solid masts. Preparation is the strongest wood. Determination forms its wonderful motor. Its power from the white tire of knowledge; Ambition, the fuel with which they load her. And treasures from Shorter College. The officers ' quarter holds four ne ' er failing hearts, Who have proven their worth to all men; Who ' ll carefully guide through all foreign parts, And safe into the harbor again. Unknown are the waters through which the route might lead. And dangerous is the wa ' we take; We must dodge the ice-bergs of selfish needs. And the rocks of deceit and of fake. We must endure the dark clouds of failure and loss. With our hearts and spirits undaunted; Be true to duty, whatever the cost, To attain the goal that we ' ve wanted. But let not our class devotion e ' er fade and die. But always remain faithful and true; May we strengthen each dear and precious tie, That will bind us whate ' er we ma ' do. And may Good Dame Fortune ever guard and guide as. In our journey on life ' s stormy sea; May we always remain true to the trust, Of our (lod-given opportunity.

We realize that we have spent four happy years at Shorter, although at times, when we were passing through this period, we were rather inclined to believe otherwise. By the process of Evolution we have lightened our shoulders of the paclcs they held as we climbed slowly to the top. Four years ago when our class strolled into Shorter, we were perfectly innocent of all that lay before us. But we have grown and progressed greatly. We have acquired many marked traits and aptitudes which we wish to pass on to those whom they will benefit. Nothing but sheer selfishness would prompt us to keep them. Therefore out of the goodness of our hearts and to appease a would-be remorseful conscience wc hereby draw up our last will and testament as follows: To our Alma Mater we wish all that is high and noble. May she always Stand forever throned in beauty . To our beloved President we leave our kindest thoughts and deepest appreciation, trusting that day by day Shorter may draw nearer and nearer to that grand and noble ideal toward which he is striving. To our Faculty, some of whom have helped us over the rough pathway of four years, we leave our very best wishes. In future years when memories are refreshed and our thoughts turn once again to Shorter and our dear old college days, you will always hold a tender place in our hearts. To you we will be eternally grateful for your untiring efforts and never-ceasing patience toward us. Paye-Sixtj-seven T- To the Junior Class we desire to transmit the privilege and valuahles which by virtue of law, they inherit: First, Our Dignit ' , which at every time and at all times must be used with discretion. Second, Senior Hall is yours, and Senior Table too. The two great io s that share an equal place in our hearts. It grieves us to part with them but we know it is now your time to share some of the pleasures of being a Senior. Third, The privilege of cooking is given, provided no concoction of food be upset upon the walls or furniture of your rooms. Fourth, Light privilege and the privilege of g oing to town any day in the week are given unconditionally, and we feel perfectly sure that your conscience and better judgment will always be your guide and that you will in no wise abuse these precious pri ' ileges, which have been so faithfully entrusted to you. To our dear Sophomores we leave our high-mindedness and our double-jinted- ness , knowing already that you can work and not mind it, all day long. We leave with vou our sincerest love and devotion and though we are scattered afar we ' ll think of our children wherever ou are . To the Freshman Claes we will a pair of roller skates. But be careful, do not speed too rapidly. Remember that a diploma comes onlj- if you work and wait. To the Class of 1940 we will Shorter ' s swimming pool. We are sorry to say that the} ' cannot be with us today, but a record of this will be kept on file for future reference. Misses Lula Garnett and Elizabeth Word, after several serious conferences, have decided to bequeath their merry flow of laughter to Misses Ada Belle Patrick and Mary Knight Perry, respectively. But they particularly specified that these delicate voices be used with care. Miss Viola Towler wills her power and abilit ' as violinist to an one who may show a very pronounced talent along this line. Miss Towler has been decidedly suc- cessful in this rare accomplishment but she thinks that the surgeon ' s knife offers greater opportunities for ser ice than the violin. Misses Ida HoUoway and Florine Williamson will their share of the Conservatory to an one who promises to practice piano as faithfulU ' as they have done in iiic [uist, hoping that great things will be attained as a result of this. Honorable mention has been given Miss Helen Swanson, recently, on the remark- able manner in which she has pla ed important roles in some of the more modern plays. Miss Swanson appeared in a very popular play several months ago entitled, iViadame Butterfly and Company . In this pla she became famous over night and since that time her fame has been increasing. But after considering the matter seri- ously she does not desire to study dramatics. She therefore graciously bequeaths her ability, together with her comlete repertoire to Miss Eve Young. Although 1921 is not Leap Year, yet Misses Allie Mae Boone and Elmer Bell feel sure that good luck can happen to a person most any time. In consequence thereof, they have decided to will the Age of Romanticism to Misses Wille Dean Andrews and Mary Jolly. Miss Marion Fo wishes to will her abilitv as interpretative dancer to Miss Eugenia Howard, hoping that this talent will be greatly perfected. Page Sixty-eiglit Miss Phosa Durden wishes to will Miss Elizabeth Harden her giant stature and also her athletic abilit , sincerely trusting that the physical training will put more color in Miss Harden ' s pallid cheeks. Miss Florrie Mae Penick has been pondering long over her ability in vamping Freshmen and she has reached the conclusion that someone else needs this gift more than she does. After much deliberation and thoughtful meditation she has decided to bequeath tiiis art to Miss Mildred Donaldson. Miss Wray Hass has become a professional. In other words she has become super- abundantly skilled in one line of work. It is an art which most of us crave and at times we are almost inclined to become envious. By regular systematic drill Miss Hass has so trained herself that she can rise from her bed at 7:29 1-2 in the morning and get to breakfast in plenty of time. I am sure this speed and rapidity is something which will be highly appreciated by the person who receives it. She has decided that Miss Lamar Jernigan shall be the fortunate one. Miss Jewel Johnson has become interested in making architectural plans. Her best piece of work was done several months ago on a very, very, small house, having only three stories and something like forty rooms. Of course, Miss Johnson does not care to will this plan, but if anyone desires a home built on this very small but unique style they will please notif her at once. Miss Kathleen Mullins wishes to pass her Heathen nickname on to anyone who does not possess a missionary spirit. Misses Dot Price and Elizabeth Tate realize that since they are graduating from college it is time to lay aside childish ways. The ' therefore bequeath their bobbed hair to Misses Ethel Niall and Katherine McNeal. There are two other members of Class ' 21 who also possess unusual qualities. They are Miss Janice Singleton, one of our best public speakers and Miss Louise Abernathy, one of our modern short story writers. In order to prevent any partiality in the willing of these talents, it has been suggested that they be auctioned off to the highest bidders. Miss Lillian Oldham wills her executive ability to Aliss Margaret Neel, together with the residue and remainder of her eccentric virtues, namely, her loud and unruly voice and her reputation for breaking all the college rules. We all want Shorter to be a democratic college and what will help to carry out this ideal more than mutual friendship. Hence, Misses Elizabeth Hall and Margaret May desire to leave their democratic friendship to the college in general. We hereby appoint Miss Eugenia Howard executor of this, our last will and testament. In Witness Hereof. We, the Senior Class of ' 21, do hereby set our sign and seal, this twenty-third day of May, One Thousand Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-one. SENIORS ' 21. By Mary Lou Rodgers.

Instead, if conditions are favorable for psycho-communication to- day, we shall get connection with spirits who through this well-known medium will impart to each member of the class her future condition.

Oh yes. that means that ten years from today the girl known as Lucile Akin ma ' be seen almost any time walking down the steps at the Terminal Station in Atlanta. She strides along beside a man somewhat shorter and smaller than herself and seems very happy as she pats him on the head when she puts him on his train. Director. That answers her question directly.

HE purpose of the ' ' oung Women ' s Christian Association shall be to unite the women of this institution in lo alty to Jesus Christ, to lead them to accept him as their personal Savior ; to build them up in the i nowleiige of Jesus Christ, especially through Bible Study and Christian j( ' r ice tiiat their character and conduct may be consonant with their :ielief. It shall thus associate them with the students of the world for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. It shall further seek to enlist their devotion to the Christian Church and to the religious work of the institution. At the beginning of the year, the Association decided to change its organization. However, this change in organization has not affected either the purpose or the unity of the Association. It was divided into three groups or circles, namely: Wilda Hard- man, Martha Shorter, and Harriet Cooper. Each circle elected a chairman who, together with the chairman of the Religious Work Department, made up the Program committee of the Association. The Circles meet separately once a week, but a union meeting of the three is planned once a month. The Circles have followed the same study throughout the year, The Chief Events in Christ ' s Ministry . At Christmas time the Shorter girls played Santa Claus . A Christmas tree was given in the college gymnasium for the children of West Rome, and every child was remembered by Santa Claus. The purpose of the Association is carried out in no better way than through the work of the Social Service Department. Over forty girls have taught in Mission Sunday Schools of Rome. The Y. W. C. A., through this department, has adopted May Bell Cole, one of the little orphans at the Baptist Orphanage at Hapeville, and each season provides her with sufficient clothing. Mission Study classes were organized after Christmas. They had the largest enrollment in their history. The Freshmen studied A Child in the Midst , taught by Misses Wright and Kellogg, the Sophomores, A Crusade of Compassion , taught by Mis Hightower, the Juniors, The Faiths of Mankind , taught by I ' Ir. Cousins, and the Seniors, Making America Christian , taught by Dr. Van Hoose. During the past year, the Y. W. C. A. has sought to teach its members the fundamentals of Christian life as was lived by Jesus Christ. It has tried to make this the daily prayer of each girl: Oh, Father, help us this day to live with Jesus, so that in the coming days our message may be a word from Him to men, winged with power to reveal and bless, to Thy honor and praise, and to the bringing in of the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.

Any Eunoniian can tell you — Eunomian Spirit! And because of this spirit you will find Eunomians always at the top, proving themselves true wearers of the Green and Green. Nineteen-twenty and ' 21 have only added new conquests and caused our colors to fly higher than ever before. Our new girls are fine and as loyal as those who have gone before, who have helped to make Eunomian Spirit what it is today. We have increased in number so much that we outgrew the hall. And now, although the best of memories cling to the old hall, we have a feeling of pride as we enter the spacious and handsomely furnished new one. Inter-Society basketball was a topic of great interest and the cause of much society spirit and friendly rivalry. Two confident and cheering societies gathered in the gym to settle the championship. The game was a closely contested one which finally terminated in victory for the team wearing the green.

Through many years since 1879, My Mammy has brightened the path and painted the way to victory to many a girl. She has shown that up on Shorter Hill from cook to dean, they surely know what Polymnian colors mean. And those colors! They encircle the globe! My Mammy has demonstrated more than once that red, white and green is peerless; for, does not the red stand for red-blooded young women; the white for earnestness of purpose; and the green for unswerving loyalty in the hearts of every Polymnian? How. with such a glorious combination as this, can anyone help knowing that Polmnian Spirit will never be defeated but — — The red, white and green will ever be seen. As the certain sign of victory !

Due to the ever faithful training of the Coach, Miss Allen, teamwork was a feature in all the games. There has never been a team on the floor that played as well and worked as good as the Shorter Varsity in their all white suits. After much careful training and practicing, March 12th finally came. On that date our old rivals, the Atlanta V. W. came up to see if they could win this year. But no, it wasn ' t decreed that they should win for we outplayed them and had an impartial referee. The final score was 20 — 17. When those Y. W. girls heard our girls singing, Shorter Spirit Never Dead , and We ' ll Roll up the Score for Shorter , they knew we were out for victorv and fairly trembled in their boots. The game was called at eight o ' clock on Saturday evening, March 12th. Miss Marguerite Watts was referee, Mrs. Mark Cooper, Umpire. The game started fast and ended even faster. But never once did the Y. W. score come up to Shorter ' s score. Due to the good guarding of Florrie Mae Penick and Mildred Walker, the Y. W. forwards were not allowed to make many goals. Our centers, Billy Laney and Liz Hall did some beautiful passing. Billy got the tip off nearly every time from that tall Y. W. jumping center, Liz followed up the tip and passed under the goal to the forwards, and in it went. In the last part of the game Shorter was forced to make a substitution in forwards. Due to a fall Ada Belle Patrick got in the game with the All Stars , her knee kept her from running. Allie Mae Boone came in to take her place. The score was 20 — 17 in favor of Shorter. The Y. W. team played good but thier guards couldn ' t hold down our forwards. Thev were so fast no one could keep up with them. Peg Lanins did most of the shooting for the Y. W. team. The line-up was: Shorter, 20. V. W. 17. Billy Laney Jumping Center M. B. Chaffin Eliz. Hall Side Center J. Reiley F. M. Penick Guard D. Fisher ( Capt. ) M. Walker (Capt. A. B. Patrick A. M.

W.: Lanins 4, Blair 3. After the game, during all the shouts and cheers from the happy side lines the Captains of both teams were given a note. This note was an invitation to a feast given both teams in Sitting Room A. Hall IL My, such food! The Y. W. team furnished several cute songs for our entertainment, one about how they Came up to Shorter, But just for the ride . They left the feast declaring that on the next Saturday night the score would be different, and so it was. One week later on Monday the 19th Shorter ' s grand ole Varsity went down to Atlanta to meet the Y. W. team on their own court. We were all confident that we would be victorious, but when we got on the floor we soon found out that Miss Adams had put her girls through some rigid training. Play was swift and very rough from the start. A large number of Shorter girls went down to witness the game. They all say that Shorter played a beautiful game. But Y. W. had the advantage over us. Before the game began the referee called Billy off and warned her about jumping too soon when the ball was tossed up. Billy got mad in the first minute of the game and therefore played a wonderful game. The way she out- jumped their tall jumping center was a marvel to everyone an the sidelines. Unlike every other game the Shorter six had played in, this one was characterized by much noise and cheering from the sidelines during the game. Shorter had defeated Y. W. three times so that team decided to reap vengeance this time. The game was so rough, due to intense rivalry, that Patrick had to give way to Boone in the second half of the game. Peg Lanins for the Y. W. got her thumb broken. Time was called for three minutes and she came back into the One Hundred Fifty-nine game. The Shorter team found out soon after the game started that the Y. W. team had planned for victory at any price. The Shorter-Y. V. game in Atlanta may be summarized by saying that roughness and pretty passing were a feature. The forwards on both teams played a good game, ringing some exceedingly pretty goals. When the tinal whistle blew the score showed that Ule Shorter had gone down to defeat for the first time. But Miss Allen was not ashamed of her team, they did their best under the circumstances. The score was 2+ — 17. Lanins did most of the shooting for Atlanta, while Price rang the most goals for Shorter. The line-up was the same as the first game. Shorter 17 Post. Y. W. C. A. :4.

Before the feast began Miss . dams made a short speech telling how the decorations signified the good feeling of the two teams. SHORTER VS. STETSON. The last game of the season was played on our own court on Monday afternoon, March 21st, at four-thirty o ' clock. The Shorter team went out on the floor overconfident. They expected to walk away with the game, but to their great surprise they found Stetson had a peach of a team. Everybody was tired and worn out from the game with the Y. W. the Saturday before. The writer hates to brag , but Shorter played the bummest game she has ever played during practice. The stetson girls outweighed our girls considerably. Their heaftiness was an advan- tage over us. Stetson girls played a good clean game and showed a good spirit the whole time thev were our guests. If we should attempt to name a single player for Shorter that afternoon it would be Billy Lanev, our marvelous jumping center. Her opponent was at least a foot and a half taller than she and she got the tip-off almost every time. The forwards for Stetson played a pretty game, ringing goals from all angles on the field. In the middle of the game as in the other two, A. M. Boone substituted for Patrick, whose knee was still out of working order. Boone is a regular fighter; she came in in time to shoot two pretty field goals. Shorter didn ' t mind losing to Y. W., because she felt she had done her best. However, she does take the Stetson de eat rather hard because no one played her best. The line-up: Shorter 11. (Capt.) Patrick — 2, Boone — 4.

Moore Recording Secretary Miss Eva Cantrell Corresponding Secretary Miss Cordelia Veal Treasurer Miss Rosa Hammond With the annual bufine;s meeting of the Shorter Alumnal Association, to be held on May 22nd will close the greatest administration in its history, that of Mrs. Mark Cooper as president, and her able corps of officers and workers. Chief among the things accomplished during the pa;t year have been the estab- lishment of the Alartha Shorter Tea Room in the college, a venture that has proven a success, both from the standpoint of financial gain and of furnishing a delightful center of social life for students, alumnae and friends of the college, both of Rome and other points of the South. Out of the tea room, ve.iture grew the idea of a big bazaar. Through the opera- tion of the two and private subscriptions from alumnae, the association was able in December to respond to an appeal from Dr. A. W. Van Hope for the library with a pledge of one thousand dollars. The organization of branches in both Atlanta and Columbus repre:ents one of the most important movements in the right direction the association has yet accom- plished. By the time this issue of the Argo comes from the press it is probable that an Augusta branch will have been formed. Other branches through the Southern part of the state and probably in other states will be organized at an early date. The Rome association numbers among its members over one hundred women who are leaders in the social, religious and educational life of the city. A lovely social event of the past year was the reception tendered the senior class by the alumnae in the Martha Shorter Tea Room. A number of the old girls are expected commencement, the alumnae program of which will be very brilliant.

The poster invited everyone to — no one knew where. At seven-thirty everyone assembled excitedly under the flag poles where they were met by about tvvent) ' ghosts. Seniors, and yanked off down the steepest hill in the world toward Rotary Lake, l he path wliich is naturally threatening, seemed steeper and more rugged than ever, especially when one could see a ghost standing immediately behind a stump or hanging by the neck from some old tree. In front of the crowd, leading the way, was a procession of ghosts carrying one of their number on a stretcher. It, for from the mangled form, it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a man or woman, must have died a horrible death, for with e ery step of the ghostlv pall-bearers, it moved as if begging for mercy. The procession led ne.xt P ' lf e Une Hundred Seveiily-six u . through the covered bridije, which, too, was inhabited by ghosts and demons, who uttered shrieks of delight as they spattered the poor victims with blood, worms and other disagreeable and horrible things. Still the procession moved onward, headed it seemed for the end of the road ahead, but suddenly there was a quick turn to the left and Shorter students were led over to a clearing, where there were fires and everyone was welcomed by a clammy handshake of a spirit long since departed. Or- dinarily, one wouldn ' t think of sitting in the midst of briars and dry leaves, that rattled occasionally indicating the presence of frogs and snakes, but then how can one tell just how weak the knees will get under certain circumstances? They were seated. The programme, prepared by the Seniors, began with one of Friend Mark Twain ' s masterpieces in ghost stories. And, as unusual as it might seem, it proved the spirits of the other world, too, were experiencing difficulty in keeping a decent grave and shrouds on their backs, not because of ti.c rl. C. L., but because of the neglect of their descendants. When the last ghost of the story had ambled away witti the broken coffin over his shoulder, and when the hollow clack! clack! caused by the friction of his joints, had been drowned in the noises of the night, there appeared two of the old witches of Salem who rocked by the fire and in their hollow, cracked voice called out the horrible fates of many of our number. Just now from one dark corner was pitched — one couldn ' t call it a tune — but a funeral song, and four bodies were brought in on stretchers, and four departed spirits were called back to tell just why they had left the world behind . Senior privileges was the first, who died at the hand of its foe, and who cried pitifully to be called back into this happy world. The second, a Senior of twelve years ago, had died from dissipation, and over-exertion in the dance hall. She seemed satisfied with her fate. The third was the Senior of today. She had just given up the fight, smothered by work from various sources. The last, a spirit of the swimming pool — Oh! long drawn out my life has been, I did deserve a pension A slow and horrible death I died, I died of good intention. By this time each of the throng of Shorter girls had experienced the cold chill of horror, and the goal was reached. It was now time to make the faculty suffer just a wee bit, for the many hours of torture they had caused the poor defenseless girls. Dr. White, Miss Wright, Miss Earnest, Miss Allen. Mr. Porter, Mr. Holden, and Mr. Siple all did their penance, and did it with a grace that made every girl glory in the spunk of their faculty. Having duly punished the erring ones, the evening was turned over to fun. Apples, candy, doughnuts and marshmallows furinshed the necessary stubstum to prevent the hungrj ' girls from joining the gang of the departed. That simple matter being attended to, the girls came back to school, some up the steep path (and the bolder, but lazier by the river road). They reached school tired, but thinking the trip worth while. vf ' _ - J) THANKSGIVING _ Pa On?

Lady Xight was a picture of lovliness in her flowing robes and head-dress of silver lace and ' tulle. As Lady Xight and Twilight sat talking, a messenger from King Sun came to announce the coming of his master. Before the ' arrival of King Sun, however, Lord Snow came unaware into the court. Lord Snow wore a handsome suit of white satin and fur. As he was about to win the hand of Lady Xight, his enemy King Sun, entered. He was a gallant young man and very commanding looking in his suit of yellow satin. King Sun was about to ask the hand of his Lady Love when a sweet voice was heard. Tis Dawn, said King Sun. Just then a monk appeared. Tis Saint Valentine, he announced. When he had heard the good news of King Sun and Lady Xight. he bestowed h is blessings upon them. For this King Sun announced, I command that this dav be celebrated for all time to come and that it be called Saint Valentine ' s Day. To ' the chords of Because, the court, led by King Sun and Lady Xight, disappeared. The dining room was beautifully decorated in pastel shades of crepe paper cut and twisted so as to form butterflies and hearts. The lights were covered with light shades which cast a soft glow over the entire room. The sweet music of the canary birds placed here and there added much to the occasion. For the sake of variety and fun, the Sophomores decided to see just how much originality the faculty and students had by giving unexpected toasts. This plan proved very successful as well as entertaining. .And the faculty proved to have quite a bit of originality. Music and class songs were enjoyed during the dinner and the distribution of Valentines made the success of the Sophomore Valentine Entertainment complete.

Paae One Hundred Eighly-fii ' e ©ll? (Hvank The Crook. What memories that word brings to a Shorter girl ' s mind — how Juniors climb bathroom airchutes into the attic, search the organ loft, g m rafters, cellars, crawl on hands and knees under the board walk from the music building, all after midnight lest the Seniors suspect, just to find that one long stick with a crook on the end. The Crook is one of Shorter ' s few traditions being handed down to each incoming Senior class. By rules the Seniors hide the Crook and the Juniors hunt for it. The Crook can never be taken when a Senior has her hand on it and an inch and a half of it must always show. The Crook always implies excitement and class spirit but never never did it become as intense as it was in JJ94-+: The I ' y-it, entire year the Juniors had given it a nieiry chase and it was during Commencement the night of the Grand Concert that a Freshman who was remainnig at home from the Concert went to visit a Senior. In the course of the evening she sat upon the bed and her hand accidentall rested upon a part of the Crook. Although under- classmen are not included in the search, this Freshman, loyal to her sister class, hurried away and told two Juniors. They immediately called upon this same Senior who by this time had become suspicious. No inducements could get her to leave the room. Finally the two Juniors saw it was in vain to beat around the bush. They told the Senior who was on guard that they had come for the Crook and with that, one of them grabbed her and held her while the other threw the mattress out of the window to some waiting Juniors, who rushed off to the woods with tile Crook. As soon as the Senior could get away she ran to the window and screamed Crook! ' It was electrical ! The fire alarm could not have caused the rush from the auditorium where the Grand Concert was being given, as this cry did. The Concert was entirely broken up. Due to the feeling that this occasioned, the Crook was never hidden again until the last of those concerned or in the College at that time had passed out. However, the Senior Class of 1921 has started the custom again and much enthusiasm is being manifested this year by the upper classmen over the hiding and finding of the Crook. The Shorter car looked shabbier than usual, in comparison with all the varied finery, when the Seniors ' 21 and their Sophs, left for the Sophomore-Senior banquet. Never was a more successful banquet staked at Hotel Forrest and never was there a greater culmination of the good times sister-classes have had together. The evening proceded with many toasts r.nd incidentalh man ' tears along with the laughter. But the highest point of excitement was only reached when old ' 21 with all the love harvested in the past two ears gave over her most cherished possession to her only chillun , that possession bemg the Hi-niinded song of their grandmothers. There were many more songs and toasts that showed the mutual admirtaion of ' 21 and ' ' 2i. At an hour, a little later than usual they returned to the hill, all reporting a most wonderful time, but you, who have experienced it, know that tears were very near the surface, and the joy in Senior hearts as they talked of it, was somewhat similar to that in the hearts of grandfather and grandmother when they talk of their courtship days. Sophomore-Senior Banquet is one of the happj fliouglits that will remain in tlie memory of ' 21 forever.

Page One Hundred Ninety -nr; ®ljp ICttfrarg ffllub At a dinner party given at the Hotel Forrest Friday ' evening, February 18th, b) IVIr. P. M. Cousins, head of the De partment of English Literature, to the upper classmen majoring in English and Literature, plans were made for the definite organ- ization of a literary club. The primary object of the club is to bring students interested in the same line of work more closeh ' together. It is not to be anything like class work, but will be social in character. Mr. Brow ning, Tennyson and many others will be invited at different times to attend the meetings. The club will meet every three weeks, on Thursday evening at seven o ' clock for one hour. ■ K V4 .-f ' -v Puge Une Hundred Minely-Hi ' o K - One night about twehe o ' clock each sleepy Sophomore was roughly awakened by a Hoodoo leaning o er her and ordering her to rise, put on her clotehs, and report to Pol. ninian Hall. As was presupposed all were too sleepy to notice that it was only Sophomores who were summoned to Student Council Meeting (as they thought) and, onl Senior Exects who had come for them. As each one arrived they were carried into the hall without a light and told not to speak to a soul. If you have never been summoned to a Student Council Meeting which has lasted nearly all night, you cannot know the fright those Sophomores had as each tried to think of everything the ' had done since entering Shorter and wondered whether or not any of the list was a shipping offense. Suddenly the lights flashed on and the Seniors, robed in caps and gowns, marched in singing High-Minded . In a very few minutes each Senior had her Sophomore fitting her Senior ring on her finger. Miss Wendel had been promised that there would be no noise, but the ex- clamations of joy just could not be suppressed as each Senior saw her ring on her own Sophomore ' s finger and, — well, the Sophomores seemed to like it too. §I)ortpr Jlnat Mtna iFtrat frm The student body was taken ery much by surprise when a holiday was an- nounced for Friday, Home-Coming Day for Rome. The parade given to show and encourage home industries began at 10:30, headed by the Queen ' s chariot, the queen of the occasion being Miss Penelope Styles of Rome. Next came Shorter ' s float. It was made to represent the Argo , that renowned treasure ship for which our College Annual is named. The ship was covered with yellow and white chrysanthemums, the college colors. Shorter was spelled out in yellow on the white background. Two girls from each class were elected by the entire student body to ride in the flcat. Those elected were: Miss Allie Mae Boone and Miss Florrie Mae Penick from the Senior class; Miss Sarah Glover and Miss Eugenia Howard from the Junior class; Miss Lois Choate and Miss Elizabeth Kline from the Sopho- more cla;s, and Miss Sarah Dixon and Miss Emily Wynne from the Freshman class. UM Page One Hundred Sinety-three ,-,f = ' V- feE . . -i f ■ r t The Eunomians and the Polymnians met Saturday evening, February 19th, in the first inter-society basketball game in three years. For many years there was a custom at Shorter for the two societies to play oft their annual game at Thanksgiving for which there was a loving cup offered. In 1918 this custom was broken at the request of the Advisory committee and the President of the College. The game on February 19th was not played for a loving cup but as is always the case the spirit was high and each society entered into the game whole-heartedly. At 8:10 everyone was present in the gymnasium, which was the scene of the battle, and the singing began. The Polymnians on one side of the gymnasium and the Eunomians on the other side took it turn about and sang with much pep . The cheer leaders for the Polymnians were Francis Wood, Inez Helfrich and Mildred Donaldson; for the Eunomians, Lois Choate, Lee Ella Dean and Virginia McGhee. The whistle blew and the game began at 8:30 with Mr. Brewer of Rome as referee and Miss Allen as umpire. The Eunomian line-up was: Centers, Fannie Lois Martin, Florrie Mae Penick; guards, Margaret May, Sadie Griffin; forwards, (Capt. ) Ada Belle Patrick, Eliza- beth McCarty; subs., Lelie Mae Jenkins, Myrtle Arnold, Jewel Johnson. The Pohmnian line-up was: Centers, Ella Laney, Elizabeth Hall; guards, Mil- dred Walker, Maude Waifen ; forwards, (Capt.) Dorothy Price, Allie Mae Boone; subs., Jessie Collier, Louise Aycock. The game was played in quarters of eight exciting, the score being kept very close. Ada Belle Patrick was undoubtedly the star of the evening, though several other players did unusually good work. Some of the teamwork displayed was beautiful. Shorter has every reason to believe that her Varsity picked from both teams has possibilities for competing creditably with any Varsity that challenges her. The game was pla ed ni quarters of eight minutes. Promptly at 9:14 the game was stopped, the score being 31 to 30 in favor of the Eunomians. Pnge One Hundred Ainety-fonr - 3?0t m iloUtt ' V..-. SO!

Of course, we, here at Fahj ' s think we have just the finest store of all. Certainly we try to make it such. The suits, the dresses, the coats, the furs, the blouses we offer come from Xew York ' s leading makers. And when it comes to prices we warrant we sell for less than any store in the country that otifers the same quality merchandise. What is more we strive so hard to see that everj- young woman at Shorter gets just the things she ought to have — we feel a certain responsibility when they are shopping without their mothers. It ' s surprising how many come in after vacations and tell us how pleased the folks back home were with things they bought at Fahy ' s.

I)Ut the base of all this prosperity has been thrift. He has banked his money — then invested it wisely with the cooperation of his banking connections. Yes, the big house on the hill is built on the sound foundation of Thrift. The National City Bank of Rome, Georgia Sporting and Dress Shoes a Specialty H. C.
