CONTENTS Faculty Campus Classes Organizations Clubs Athletics Features tt92a The Shorter Girl ' s Creed BELIEVE in girls, in the women of a great tomorrow, and that whatsoever the girl soweth, the woman shall reap. I believe in the curse of ignorance, in the dignity of learning, and the joy of serving others. I believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as in the pages of printed books, in lessons taught not so much by precept as by example, in ability to work with the hands as well as to think with the head, in everything that makes life large and lovely. I believe in beauty in the home, in the class- room, in the work-room, and in the influence of God ' s great out-of-doors. I believe in laughter, in love, in faith, in all distant hopes that lure us on. I believe in the present and its opportunities, in the future and its obligations, and in the divine joy of living, here and hereafter. f Ifi? s Board of Editors Editors May Rybert Frances Wood Business Managers Mildred Donaldson Mildred Brown Subscription Editors Lois Choate Annie Laurie Callier Art Editor Edna Belle Ham Exchange Editor Inez King Kodak Editor Neta Belle Scarboro Class Representative LuciLE Bruce.

The immediate object which the Association has in view is the erection of an Alumnae Building, which shall be a home for all student organizations, but the ult ' mate object of the Alumnae Asso- ciation is to keep alive the love and lovalty which every alumna should feel for her Alma Mater, and to interest others in the great cause of Christian Education. .jf v J ( d SSLSrSJETSLSri Alma Mater Far above the winding Coosa, Above its waters clear, Stands forever Alma Mater, Shorter loved and dear. Lift your voices, send them upward. Loud her honor sing, Hail to thee, O, Alma Mater, Wide thy praises ring. Far above the mountains azure. And the town of Rome, In our memory cherished ever. Stands our college home. Stand forever, throned in beauty Hold thy purpose high. And thy fame, O, Alma Mater, May it never die. 19 Z A ' 4 BOOK II CAMPUS i92a 51 m nm f92M. I ' ISIBLSrSJBT 19 zm The sun goes down. She flings her long red banner ' cross the sky To bid farewell. In gold and crimson majesty She waves good-bye; And cloud-companions, rosy-hued, Her consort, to her hie. To bear her gloriously away, Remembered though she die. The sun goes down. We, like the sun, have come to say good- bye To college days. Our banner of the Black and Gold We hold on high ; And though we leave, its colors brave With Truth and Courage fly, A symbol of our hearts and love. As we go singing by: Shorter, Shorter, Alma Mater, College days must end: You must lose your loyal daughter. We our mother-friend. As we go. May you know This our prayer will be. Through our life Of joy and strife. May we honor thee. The sun goes down. The gate upon the land of girlhood swings And closes fast; And in our lives to riper summer Turns the spring. In cap and gown we bid Our adolescent thoughts take wing; We greet our womanhood. And, in farewell, we sing: Shorter, Shorter, Alma Mater, We will ne ' er forget; We will be your loyal daughters. Though our sun has set. College days Pass away. In our hearts you know Love for you. Strong anci true. Pays the debt we owe. The sun goes down. She leaves in eager dignity to light Another world. And we, though loath to mark Time ' s Onward flight, Are eager for the world ' s true fight Our untried strength to prove Us noble, strong, with honor bright . Worth Shorter ' s pride and love.

GEORGIA 1935 GREAT TRAGEDY Miss Florence Turner is converted into stew by the Billiken Savages in N. W. Africa. Miss Turner was tour- ing that part of the country in her Packard and distributing chewing gum to all of the natives. News was sent from Chief Demon Rum to the New York Times by radio. This enormous tragedy has stricken us all dumb. BANK ROBBER CAUGHT T he details of the manner in which Miss Florre Jo Everrctt tracked the criminal robber down to earth are amazing, to say the least. The rascal- ly robber carried her umbrella with her and it was by means of this clue that Miss Everrett ran Mary Knight Perry, the desperado, down to earth. Misses Everrett and Perry were classmates at Shorter. Thus fate has brought two one time class mates together. NOTED EXPLORER LOST IN MARSH Frances Wood, noted explorer and inventor of the Helen Sedan, is report- ed lost in the marsh due north of here. Miss Wood went alone on her famous expedition, although it was with some difficulty that she per- suaded her ' friends to allow her to pro- ceed unattended. The last, words that fell from the lips of this tragedy-elect upon mor- tal ears were, Well, I ' m willing to try any thing once. Now there is a haunting air of sorrow and despair where once hope and mirth gayly flitted. As one of our great poets once said : Ah! we court danger! ' Tis true, ' tis true! Like a Ford too near a railroad engine That up and blew, blew!! MISS LILA MAE STANTON GETS DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMENT Great interest has been shown over the fact that Miss Lila Mae Stanton, of Social Circle, has been appointed ambassador from the U. S. to the Chinese government. She will be re- ceived by President Shirts very soon. Miss Stanton got her start at Shorter College. MISS LOIS CHOATE GOV- ERNOR OF KENTUCKY Miss Lois Choate, of Hickman, Ky., has just been elected governor of the state. During her campaign Miss Choate made many stump speeches and gained the support of all of the par- ties. It has been recognized that she is very skilled in the science of poli- tics. It is hoped that Kentucky will enter into an era of prosperity such as it has never known before, under the slogan of Choate for the people! INEZ KING, DEAN OF WOMEN AT SHORTER COLLEGE Miss Inez King has just sent out a written statement to the effect that she has accepted the position as dean of women at Shorter College. Well, you can bet your last dollar that I ' ll do my duty by the girls, said Miss King in a recent interview. Miss King is a graiduate of Shorter and has been connected with Baylor Military Academy, where she taught penman- ship according to the Scott method. MISS JESSIE SUTTON CAN- DIDATE FOR POST- MISTRESS Miss Sutton is well suited for this position and her college training in baseball and basketball has made her capable of handling the mail of this community with ease. The heaviness of the mail is due to Miss Inez King ' s weekly matrimonial journals and Miss Loby Callier ' s dancing instructions and Miss Liz Arthur ' s Sears-Roebuck catalogues. In her candidatal stump speech Miss Sutton says: Vote for me — and I promise to read every card that comes in and keep up with all the post- marks on the letters. The news that can be read from cards and letters will be phoned to you at once. Hearty applause followed this. The Gossip League has pledged its entire support to Miss Sutton. BIG ROBBERY Wynn Jewels Stolen by Heart- less Thief One of the most exciting and ex- pensive things that has happened around in many a day is the dis- appearance of the jewels of Miss Annie Sue Wynn. Miss Wynn says that she had always put her rings in a tin lock box and wore the key around her neck. The lock on the box was forced. Miss Wynn said: Dirty work has been done by some mer- cenary thief. All Miss Wynn ' s friends feel her loss deeply. Detectives are now on the trail of the thief. But the search will be fruitless. THE GOLD AND BLACK The GOLD and BLACK is the Prophec:g of the hi h- minded class of 1923 May Rybert, Prophet. EDITORIAL Time does fly— if any of us have ever doubted this we will cease to do so from now on. This issue of the Gold and Black is for the purpose of showing what time has done to the lives of the members of the class of ' 23. Some of the revelations with- in these pages are amazing. We are somewhat surprised to find what a crowd of tamous folk-to-be and rogues- to-be are gathered there in name. Most amazing of all, though is the fact, that none of this is true, that it ' s all the prophecy of the class of ' 23, a class of the uneven genera- tion which joyously shouts — Senior class is high-minded; Believe, my soul, they ' re double- jinted. They can work and don ' t mind it, All day long! LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: — I wish to tell you how I made a four-acre farm pay. I feel that it will interest others so inclined. I am proprietor and owner of the Heab Spete farms. I plow the ground twice a year with mules, and sow the right sued in the right soil and harvest my cn ps. Thift plan, if followed out, will insure success. Eugenia Anderson. LETTER FROM MISS HILDA JACKSON, IN THE NO-KINK ISLANDS Dear Friends at Home: — ■ From Cannibal Land I send you greetings- — and I can ' t help but tell you of a few of the thrills gained from doing social service work among the No-Kinks. King Tut, high- monkey-the-monk of all the gangs, took me out for a ride in his Pack- ard. We rode out to Sta-Comb park and back again to Bandoline. I ' ve been to several teas and one big re- ception this past week. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to live through it all — the social life here is such a strain. We never know when we may have to apply the things we learned at col- lege. Grits are the chief diet of the No-Kinks! Lm going to close by giving you directions to my present home so that even my richest friends may reach me in their Fords. Go to Meridian, Catherine, through Missouri at the Twin Peaks, take the road followed by Alice in Wonderland — and here we are. Yours for the No-Kinks. Hilda Jackson.

A Dodge is almost human, in that it al- most breaks the speed laws going to- wards the city — but on return trips to Shorter it is unaccountably slow. Le Roy de autos is the Dodge, says Miss Wooley.

The teachers in this school use as their text book, a book called reminiscence and many wonders are read out of it to attentive little ears. One of the buildings in this school goes by the name of Shorter. It derived its name from another school that exists in the land of Really Truly. Many classes have their lessons in this building but it would be impossible to tell the story of them all, so let us look upon one of the most interesting, the class of 1923. They are a class of high minded chillen and they work and don ' t mind it all day long, at least they do when their work is as fascin- ating as it is today. They have just come from a Biology class where they heard a very interesting talk on the Evolution of a Shorter Girl and they are now on the way to their History class. Let us slip into one of the back seats and hear what the teacher is saying. Today, children, we are to study the history of the class of ' 23. I want you to pay special attention for as you know the girls of this class are your ancestors and they belong to one of the most famous classes in our generation. As this lesson is so important I will read it to you as I find it in my book of Reminiscence and I will ask you to take notes as I read. In 1919 there came to Shorter the largest Freshman class the college had ever known. They were immediately taken in hand by the Juniors, their sister class, who called a class meeting for them that they might elect their officers. Emelil Crumpton of the Junior class stood on top of the Gymnasium piano and thrilled and cautioned these Freshmen with her words of advice. It was then that Anita Chandler was elected president; Oneita Horton, vice-president; Margaret Wheatley, secretary, and Elizabeth Kline, treasurer. No sooner were they organized than the Sophomores pounced down upon them. The Sophs considered baby caps as appropriate head gear for this unsophisticated bunch, so donning these, with their faces free from all cosmetics, the Freshmen put on their middle blouses backward and started out on two days of slavery to the Sophomores ' whims. These Freshmen were meek, as was fitting their rank, but even they rose in revolt when two of their number were taken out and hazed by the Sophomores. Hazing was strictly forbidden, so the Freshmen tore off the garb put on them by the Sophomores and appeared at dinner that night dressed in their best and making a very contrasting picture from the one in the morning. ?lf -jrgLBiajsrE ' %: nl The next great event in the lives of these Freshmen was the Oriental party given them by the Juniors. The gymnasium shone in Oriental splendor and served as the scene for an attractive, original program, in which Allie Mae Boone, the Junior president, and Marjorie Lampkin starred. In November these same Juniors on Thanksgiving day gave the Freshmen the banner that they carried with them t hrough their four years of college, the beautiful black and gold banner of ' 23. The Junior ' s affair in the dining room meant a great deal to the Freshmen, but no member of the class of ' 23 will ever be able to forget George Washington ' s birthday when they made their own debut. How they worked their brains to think of some original way to enter- tain and how they worked their fingers making morning glories when they did decide upon the plan of decorating the dining room as an old fashioned garden. What attractive costumes they got up, little black lies, old fashioned ladies, flowers, etc. But one of the best programs ever given by these Freshmen was the Jazz program given at the party when they entertained for their Juniors. It was a peppy party and brought the two classes even closer together. Then the Juniors asked the Freshmen to be their Sophomores for the next year. They had a big celebration down town early one morning when the Juniors took the Freshmen to breakfast. Only a few months and these Freshmen were Sophomores. Anita Chandler did not return, so Lois Choate was elected president in her place and this class began putting their Freshman successors through a stiff initiation. The rivalry between these two classes began then and grew with their feasts. Feasts! The class of ' 23 were adepts at pulling off feasts. They had two of the best ones ever and no one knew a thing about it. It was in their Sophomore year that this class gave such an at- tractive valentine party in the dining room. How pretty Marion Hale looked and how sweetly she sang, as Lady Moon. King Sun, Jack Frost, and all the little raindrops and sunbeams were there. Every one said the dining room looked prettier than it ever had. This was a busy year for Seniors and Sophomores alike but they took time for two parties. The Sophomores gave the Seniors an in- formal spread in the gym one night, where everybody had lots of fun, and the Seniors gave the Sophomores a boat trip. Boat trip! Fatal word. To every Sophomore and Senior it conjures up memories of two cold nights spent on a river bank and an epidemic of ptomaine poison. But the river couldn ' t dampen the pep and the ptomaine poison couldn ' t kill the fun of it, for in spite of everything those girls had a good time. At the banquet the Sophomores gave the Seniors the night after they returned from the trip, it was a little hard for any one to take any interest in food, but laughter and fun reigned supreme. And then Commencement, which for every Sophomore means f92a St «F i daisy chains and good-byes. How their backs ached from picking daisies and how their hearts ached to see their Seniors leave them. They returned to school the next year with a somewhat lost feel- ing. It was strange not to have a sister class to take care of them but this feeling vanished when they began to realize they themselves had a class to take care of. The Freshmen, their chillen , had arrived and what a fine class they were, so fine that these Juniors couldn ' t de- cide which girl they liked the best, so they decided just to ask the whole class to be their Sophomores instead of having individual ones. At a weiner roast down by the lake they gave these Freshmen their banner. They also had a joint party with the Freshmen out at the country club where their double jints could play and run around as much as they pleased. Thanksgiving came and ' 23 entertained for the last time in the dining room. The program, an Indian one, was gotten up in less time than it took to give it, but it got by as did many other jumped-up affairs of this class. One of the most exciting events of this year was the time when these Juniors came so near finding the Crook that the Seniors had hidden in the gym. A word dropped by a Senior was enough to give the Juniors a clue and in less than no time the Juniors were in the gym. Grace Marie started out on a search with the thoroughness of Hawkshaw himself and she almost found it but the Seniors came tumbling in and a scrap ensued. Was violence used? The question was never settled in the heated debate that took place afterward. When in High School the road to Seniordom seems endless but once in college the time flies by. Three years pass rapidly and the class of ' 23 took its place in Senior Hall. How big they felt having privileges and deference, but how miserable they felt that first Sunday when they appeared for the first time in their caps and gowns. To be dressed in such dignity was not so wonderful as a little Freshman might think, so these garments were worn only on state occasions, such as Senior recitals and the first night at Senior table. Senior table, the place for food, fun and foolishness. This Senior class could enjoy it as much as anyone for they weren ' t too dignified. No, you would hardly have called them dignified if you could have seen them down in the basement Hallowe ' en night entertaining the school with a descent into Hades. The spring term; or should it be called a term, it passed by as quickly as a day; was crowded full of final good times at Shorter and plan : for the future. Then Commencerrient, Shakespearean play, daisy chain, Sopho- mores, banquet, diplomas, all followed one another thick and fast. Then ole ' 23 left its college on the hill to go Prove Shorter ' s worth in the world of men To uphold the white and Rold. Florence Turner. 19 za S SL5M5LSraJ5il Last Will and Testament E, the SENIOR CLASS of Shorter College, town of Rome, State of Georgia, being declared sound in mind and mem- ory by Miss Jacobs, and fully realizing that we have but one more sunrise on Shorter Hill, do hereby, in the last few hours of our reign, make our last will and testament, placing all our treasures at the disposal of the rightful heirs. To our Alma Mater we do hereby bequeath our highest ideals, our profound respect, undying love and loyalty. To our beloved President we leave our Shorter Pep and the same co-operation in spirit we have given in reality during our joint reign of a year. To our Faculty we leave our sincere gratitude for the hours of patience lavished upon us, and for the oil of knowledge poured upon the troubled sea of student days. To the Junior class we do hereby bequeath (1) our royal king- dom, i. e.. Senior Hall, the lights of said kingdom to be kept ever bright and burning as in days of old. Be brave and persevering in the face of raids made by darkness-loving hoodoos and foreign officials. (2) The royal court of ' 23, i. e., Senior Sitting Room, which for a year has been adorned in royal gold and black, is by this will to be hung with rose and black; but with the provision that the walls of said court are to resound with the sweet strains of Victrola jazz every other half hour of both day and night. If at any time this sacred trust is betrayed the court is to be closed, locked andi barred! (3) Senior table we leave to you. Here three times a day the entire court of ' 23 assembled in formal manner to observe the sacred rite of fasting, to the chimes of Miss Wendel ' s bell. We charge you, therefore, to keep the bell ringing in memory of the old regime. (4) Our privilege of c ooking is yours. It is of course, known and well understood that this privi- lege is automatically removed when any butter, oil, milk, liquid or fat of any kind is used in preparing the food. (5) To you we leave our Dignity, to be held sacred and at all times exercised in a conserva- tive manner. As the privileges of the Senior Kingdom tend to diminish rather than increase as becomes its Royal Dignity, we charge you to guard and defend them to the end. To our own Sophomores we do hereby bequeath (1) Our High- minded Spirit ; that spirit which cannot be duplicated, and with which everything is possible. With this spirit goes our double- jinted- ness. These are yours by the legal rights of inheritance, be yours to hold them high! (2) The ability to hide a crook where no member of the Whoopin ' generation can find it! And with this the ability to keep said whoooin ' folks moving said crook incessantly when it is in their possession. (3) To you we leave our love, and interest ESa if Ur iifrO M sm in all you undertake, and always you may know, ' 25, there ' s a class that ' s behind you, with you in all that you do! To the dear little Freshman class we leave a good-natured smile and a dash of sympathy, along with the wish that at the end of four years of struggle your only crown of sorrow will be, as ours is, in re- membering happier days. Miss Florence Turner and Netabelle Scarboro bequeath the piece Railroad Jim, recently found under a window seat in Senior Sitting Room, to Dr. Floyd. Miss Rebecca Griffith, after due deliberation and serious considera- tion, leaves her talent of impersonating a monkey to Miss Louise Rumble. Miss Annie Sue Wynne bequeaths her arm-bands and possibilities of entry in Olympic games to Miss Ora Upshaw. Miss Wynne has kindly agreed to give Miss Upshaw private instructions in muscle development at any convenient hour before breakfast. Miss Mildred Brown leaves her Freshman ward in the hands of Miss Eugenia Norvel. Plans for said ward ' s future training will be turned over to Miss Norvel on request. Miss Frances Wood bequeaths her hours of practice teaching to Miss Sarah Smith. Miss Wood feels these hours would be otherwise wasted in directing a school board. Miss Lois Choate leaves her love of collecting Johnnie-jump-ups to Miss Lucille Bruce. Miss Choate makes no mention, however, of including any of the collection of Johns in the contribution. Miss Mary Knight Perry leaves her talent of toe dancing to Miss Amos Robinson. Also her collection of grass hoppers, and other rare insects to Miss Margaret Hendriks. Miss Louise Aycock bequeaths the floor plan of a comfortable twelve-room cottage to Miss Elizabeth Barber. If Miss Barber finds the house uncomfortably small. Miss Aycock leaves a sealed envelope containing necessary information as to enlarging the quarters. Miss Elizabeth Newberry leaves a valuable set of six volumes en- titled Thirty Pounds in Thirty Days, to Miss Claire Hannah. Miss Hannah is expected to write a sequel in six volumes under the same title. The completed set is expected to be a masterpiece in double meaning. Miss Flora Campbell leaves her lyric soprano voice to Miss Sarah Benton. Some hopes are cherished of hearing said voice in opera in the near future. Miss Mildred Donaldson leaves the finishing of her opera, and also her folio of love songs to Miss Carrie Moore. Miss Donaldson also bequeaths the source of her inspiration, as she considers the works would otherwise be lacking in color. Miss Elizabeth Arthur leaves her volume of Robinson Crusoe to Miss Lala McDonald. 99: .M amu IS B Miss Annie Laurie Callier wishes to will her accomplishments as the champi on fast dresser of Senior Hall to Miss Tommie Thompson. Miss Callier has been known to reach breakfast after one door is closed, having started preparing for the charge with the ringing of the 6:30 bell. Miss Edna Bell Ham, after much deliberation on the matter, has decided to bequeath her highly developed sarcasm to Miss Laura Wilson. Miss Katherine Bradley leaves her seeming title to an unlimited number of cuts to Miss Lena Hart. Miss Hart is of course, expected to use said cuts in the original manner, not missing a dance at either Georgia or Mercer. Miss May Rybert bequeaths her good sportsmanship, her sunny smile and undying thoughtfulness to Miss Lora Will Gammage. Miss Catherine Culpepper wills her unusual possibilities of suc- ceeding Dr. Furry in the chair of Philosophy to Miss Adelle Moss. Miss Hilda Jackson leaves her notes on the theory of gravitation supplemented by personal experience to the young twins. But before a practical application of these notes it is advisab le for said twins to read Miss Jackson ' s sonnet entitled Meditations of a Second Floor Window From the Ground. Miss Florre Joe Everett leaves her executive ability to Miss Elsie Hart. Miss Lilla Mae Stanton wills her thirst for knowledge as expressed through her unusual interrogative ability to Miss Louise Gay. Miss Inez King leaves her place at the telephone booth to Miss Thelma Gates. Miss Eugenia Anderson leaves her chair in Bible Class to Miss Hazel Myres. Said chair being on the shady side of the room, and re- moved by one row from the desk, has been the scene of many a re- freshing nap from 8:30 to 9:30. Miss Anderson suggests this hour be chosen also, as it affords an opportunity to finish the sweet slumber interrupted by the uneventful act of eating breakfast. We hereby appoint Miss Mary Sue Jones executrix of this, our last will and testament. In witness hereof, we, the Senior Class of ' 23, do hereby set our sign and seal, this fourth day of June, in the year of Our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-three.

W. C. A. summer conference meets at Blue Ridge, N. C, the first of June, lasting about ten days. Representatives from all the southern colleges meet there to discuss the work of the Y. W. C. A. and the problems of the world. After having been at Blue Ridge you can easily see why it is called - the beauty spot of the world. Situated in the range of the Blue Ridge Mountains there you see Nature in all its glory, and know it is the handiwork of God. The spiritual atmosphere which enshrouds every girl is wonderful! For somehow, being surrounded by so much physical beauty, you are drawn closer to God. Every meeting is very inspiring, interesting and instructive. At Blue Ridge you get a broader and more optimistic view of life. Meeting girls from so many different colleges, states, and countries, it doesn ' t make you feel that the world is so big, after all, when you have the opportunity of talking to girls from France, China, Japan, South America, and other countries. It makes you feel, with the help of God, it is possible to make the whole world for Christ. The experiences and the thrills you get at Blue Ridge cannot be found anywhere else in the world. It is realized at Blue Ridge that not only spiritual development is necessary to make a well rounded woman, but physical development is very important, and every afternoon from three to six, you can see girls in their hiking clothes, and very much excited over going to the Spanish Castle, Brown ' s Pasture, Black Mountain, or Montreat. Then you see girls with their bathing suits on to take a plunge in the swimming pool, the water coming from a mountain stream. Some are going to the athletic fields to play baseball, basketball, or tennis. You can see a big truck coming up the mountain to carry girls to Chimney Rock, Eagle ' s Nest, Biltmore, and other interesting places. It ' s all so wonderful! The only trouble is, there arc so many places to go — so much to see — you get furious because you can ' t be in ten places at cnce. Well, speaking of pep, the girls have it at Blue Ridge — just bubbling over with it every minute. The only thing to regret about the Conference is the leaving. But after going away you always remember those ten days spent at the Conference at Blue Ridge as ten of the happiest days you have ever spent.

Decision : Negative . . a ' J w fli i , ' i The Eunomian Literary Society We ' re Eunomians born, we ' re Eunomians bred, And when we die, we ' ll be Eunomian dead. ROM September, 1922, to June, 1923, the Eunom- ian Society added to its history another glorious chapter. On pledge day, a noted and annually an- ticipated occasion, a great band of new girls claimed as theirs the Green and Green, and the worth of the loyalty and helpfulness which they brought with them is far too great to be measured in words. For the past year we have taken up a study of art, litera- ture, and music, devoting a Saturday night to each, and hav- ing a miscellaneous program on each fourth Saturday night. Parties and fun have made the year ' s work a pleasure. True to our past history, Eunomians entered every combat of the year with a zeal and earnestness which justifies the great- est pride. Victory and defeat were made stepping-stones to greater things. The fame of Green and Green spread through- out Shorter and abroad, but only a Eunomian knows the boundless depths of meaning which these colors represent. May the next chapter of our history be even more glorious. Oh, you don ' t know how nice you have to be In order to be a Eunomian. !

You ' ll lose all your honor, ' Crease all your woes, What in the world ' U become of you Nobody knows. ' ACH Day of 1922-23, days filled with success and defeat, joy and disappointment, have only combined to make this a great year for Polymnians. Our new girls brought to us new energy and life and this added to the grand old Polymnian spirit and pep just can ' t be beat. Our Mam- my teaches us to fight for Red, White and Green, and to fight fair and each Poly gets the indomitable spirit and will which takes them through victory and defeat and which marks them as good sports in the event of either. It ' s in the sentiment which has belonged to Polys so long to realize that after all it ' s the way you fight that counts. Each Saturday night finds every Polymnian in Polymnian Hall, singing with enthusiasm her society songs and re ady to listen to an in- teresting program. These programs are of literary and musical nature, varied with some of social and impromptu. Each girl is ready and willing to help in any way on these programs and displays a spirit of co-operation which is seen in all phases of the society ' s life. Since 1879 Polymnians have been increasing in members, in enthu- siasm, in pride and in prestige. Each Poly ' s heart is full of love for My Mammy who sponsors the good old Red, White and Green. These colors are the symbols of the loyalty, the faithfulness, the high purposes and the never-say-die spirit of all Polymnians, and Red, White and Green never fail to bring a thrill of pride and love to each girl who pledges herself to them. Upon Shorter Hill from cook to dean They know what Polymnian colors mean. og IS w . The Polymnian Literary Society Frances Wood President Virginia Bradley ' .

The aim of educational gymnastics is to promote health, develop control, repose, judg- ment, presence of mind, and to improve all con- ditions tending to health and beauty; thus bringing the entire body into a harmonious whole under the direct control of the will. In the Swedish system of gymnastics big muscles are not the aim, but the natural development of every muscle. Hence the even-sided triangle has been taken as an emblem of associative gym- nastics and athletics, typefying the all-round fully developed man.

She has the sunshine in her eyes. At morning, noon and night We answer Yes , with all our hearts, When asked is MARY WRIGHT? We have a fruit at Shorter That has a magic power. And any contact with it Makes you happy every hour. The fruit is named NEWBERRY. Our hope will always be That every day in every way She ' ll always be HAPPY. There ' s no one like her — Our ORIGINAL MAY. She thinks up a new thing Just every day. She uses her brains Our Argo to sail. With her hand on the helm It just couldn ' t fail. HELEN goes on thru life In the same happy way That she swings in her Ford up the hill; She ' s happy-go-lucky And RECKLESS and gay. She wouldnt miss anything Coming her way As she rushes thru life with a will. 1! BETH is truly a TYPICAL girl A regular Shorterite. She ' s there in her studies, Social life, too; Nothing in athletics She can ' t do. In other words. Beth ' s all right! E stands for EASY-GOING, For EVELYN, too. What ' s the use of worrying? She says to you. What ' s the use of working, anyway. Everything will be all right Some sweet day. We put this awful word in Because, you see. We want to prove to all the world How sweet we be. There ' s no one ' s name to put here. ROUGHNECKS on Shorter Hill? My dear, we do not know the word And hope we never will! t923m If we were only poets of note We ' d write of floating flowers.

REFINED to the nth degree. LOVABLE, well, we ' ll vote so. A friendly smile, a kindly word, She always has for you. It ' s MILDRED PIDCOCK, as you know.

Goodbye, you hard-boiled old sinner. I wouldn ' t take another tiresome course under you to save your life. Do you know, Charles, I always feel so safe when you are driving. You idiot, I wonder if you ' re sober enough to get me home without turning us over. Now, Bill, it isn ' t that I don ' t like you. I do. And if I went in for that sort of thing you know you ' d be the one I ' d kiss. But I just don ' t like it, that ' s all. You dumb-bell. Who do you think could love you? Oh, I ' m so sorry, Al. but I have a date tonight. Yes, and tomorrow — Yes, all this week. Please ask me for another one, hear? I do want one with you, you know. If you get a date with me, it ' ll be while I ' m dead. Never would I be bored by you if I know it. I know he drinks and all that, but he ' s always treated me with the greatest respect and has always acted like a perfect gentle- man in my presence. I ' m going to reform him. What they don ' t know won ' t hurt them. I won ' t admit it. Anyway, he has a Packard. Now, honey, you know that which- ever society you join, we ' ll still be as grand friends as ever. I ' m not rushing you for society, I ' m rushing you for my friend. Don ' t think I ' ll ever notice you after Pledge Day. You bore one to death. Oh, I wouldn ' t have broken this date for anything. You ' re the last person on earth I would have done that for. Please believe me, Bob. What makes you think I ' d want to keep a date with you? I ' ll break every other one I get a chance to. By Gosh! Come back and see me sometime. You don ' t have to go, do you? If you ever dare come in here again I ' ll brain you, you half-wit. Oh, your recital was wonderful! And I never have seen you look so lovely. What on earth did she wear that color for? She looked like a scarecrow. And her recital bored me stiff. Come in. Oh, so glad to see you. Sit down. My heavens! Have I got to be bored with her for an hour? Surely, take the dress. I ' d love for you to wear it. I bet she hasn ' t worn a dress of her own since school started. I ' m so tired of her ruining my clothes I could die. What grand food! Thank you for bringing it to me. What in the world is this? I ' m get- ting sea-sick trying to choke it down. ETIQUETTE Old King Tut Was a jollified nut Till Egypt voted dry. Then he hired a room In a stylish tomb And started to mummify. He was satisfied With the way he dried For a million years or more. Till the British Museum Broke into his dream With an axe on his big back door. They hired a man With a moving van And never said, Excuse! They were kind of curt When they took his shirt And his throne and his pants and his shoes. They took his chair And his kitchenware And the whole of his bedroom set. It was all so quaint. But yet it ain ' t What I calls etiquette. — Exchange. VLxjf JL jS. 51i Bi M STANDARD EXCUSES FOR ALL OCCASIONS For returning late from any car ride — Oh, girls, we had the most terrible time .... a blowout, and it took, the longest time to fix it, and we got stalled in the mud, and we went in the ditch and I got out to help him, and — but look at my clothes — absolutely ruined by mud! For failing to turn in that term paper on the day that it ' s due — Yes, I ' m awfully sorry. Professor, but I just can ' t get that paper in today. You see, we cleaned up last night and a lot of my papers got dumped down the chute — No, I didn ' t lose anything valuable except my notes. For fussing because a friend fails to pay back that fifteen cents she borrowed — No, it ' s not the money; it ' s the prin- ciple of the thing. For not getting a rush when the Glee Club comes — ■ I never was forward. All those girls rushed up before I had a chance, and, would you believe it, I didn ' t know a soul on the Glee Club, etc. For not getting a letter — Wonder why John didn ' t write today? He never misses, but I suppose it ' s be- cause I haven ' t written in two or three weeks. Upon displaying a picture — You know I never did take a good picture, and my hair looked simply awful when that was taken. For flunking a course — Had it in for me from the very first. I was the only one in the class who wasn ' t afraid to argue with him. Made him mad because I wouldn ' t agree with everything he said. No chance for orginal thought here at all. Grades don ' t mean anything to me, though. FOLKS I WOULD ENJOY MUR- DERING And I just told him I never could love him. He ' s just crazy about me, tho. I can ' t help but feel sorry for him — Look, what does that say? ' Lulu, cor- nered on a lonely cliff, threatens to throw herself over ' . Now, ain ' t that awful? You know, I bet — • Now, Margaret — hie — we ' ll just sit out here — hie — till you decide you love me — hie — No — you can ' t sweet-talk me — hie — I ' m not goin ' in — Ma-ma! What does that say? Ma-ma! What ' s he doing that for? Ma-ma! What are they going to do now? Well, he may be fast, but he ' s always been a perfect gentleman around me. Let ' s see, it was Thursday — -no, it was Wednesday — and I, no, I believe it was Thursday, because I went — no, it was Thursday, for I remember that — well, anyway, I — • Made three yards? Yar ds of what? Who did you say was down? First? Who ' s first? Lend me a stamp. I ' ll pay you back tomorrow. And I just told him to let go my hand, I wasn ' t that kind of a girl — ■ Oh, you aren ' t tired. Come on, let ' s play a little. It ' s just eleven o ' clock. When Bill used to be crazy about me he wrote adorable letters. Does he still? Professor, you forgot to call Mary Daw ' s name. She ' s absent. I don ' t care if 1 5 minutes has gone; I ' m going to sit right here till the teacher comes. You forgot to tell us when we ' re go- ing to have the test. Professor. Your dress is pretty.

I Shorter College Rome, Georgia Founded in 1873, by Colonel Shorter, Shorter College is completing its fiftieth year in the higher education of young women of the South. Shorter is distinctively a college for women and maintains that educational curricula adapted to the needs of men are not suit- able, valid and complete for the education of women. It is con- tended that woman ' s sphere in life is so fundamental ly different from man ' s that to equalize educational programmes and prac- tices would be retrogression and a dangerousi discarding of true values. Shorter believes that a college for women must be no less definite in purpose, no less direct in aim, no less rational and philosophic in policy, no less genuine and thorough in its work than colleges for men. In brief it is held that women are as capable as men and must be as purposely educated as women, as men are to be educated as men. To this ideal of higher education of young women, Shorter is devoting all its resources and with its beautiful location, fire-proof buildings, adequately equipped library and laboratories and its large Faculty of men and women trained in the best Colleges and Universities of America, is giving to the world annually a group of young wiomen trained and destined to leave a permanent impress upon their generation.
