Tke Sliorter Girl s Creed I 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 learn- ing, 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 classroom, 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.

The Alma Mater The White and Gold Far above the winding Coosa, Above its waters clear, Stands forever Alma Mater — Shorter, loved and dear. Chorus Lift your voices, send them upward — Loud her honor sing! Hail to thee, oh Alma Mater! Wide thy praises ring! Far above the mountains azure.

The white and gold of memories dear Enshrine we in our hearts. The teachings of its colors clear Will ne ' er from us depart. The white shall stand for purity — The gold for worth untold; We ' ll prove Shorter ' s worth In the world ' s great strife — We ' ll uphold the white and gold! Our Alma Mater ' s standards true We ' ll bear where ' er we go; That others, seeing our lives, Our glories, too, may know. Our hearts shall stand for purity. Our lives for worth untold ; We ' ll live up to these in the world of men. We ' ll uphold the white and gold. Shorter bpirit Shorter spirit ' s never dead — Shorter ' s gonna win again!

To an E venm g St ar When on earth the light begins to fade, And all the western sky, with varied tints, Uplifts man ' s soul, all earthly cares are laid Aside, this beauty to enjoy. These glints Delight the eye and fill the soul with rest And peace, jet they do gently disappear. Then, to atone for such lost brightness, lest Grim shadows fill man with dismay and fear, Her mellow beams soft shining from afar. One glimpse of this bright star doth make all men Rejoice and onward go with hearts more light; Abide, then, thou sublime sweet Evening Star, E ' er faithful at dusk as thou hast always been.

They are usually very unaccomplished, unsophisticated, and ignorant, yet innocent and harmless. The Freshman Class of ' 25 was all of these, and more. I am sure the mistakes we made, the traps we fell into, the foolish questions we asked, and the many childish things we did have been permanently instilled in the hearts of every member of our class, and, being a shy and modest group of girls, it is not our desire that our faults, which, we hope, we have at least partially overcome, be published abroad. For this reason, I shall not speak at length about our unfortunate beginning. However, I feel that I should not leave a perfectly blank page concerning our unabased primitive life, so I will mention only a few of t he events. Of course, we were no exception to the general rule, speaking of Freshmen Classes. We were very modest and retiring, spoke only when we were spoken to, and sometimes, with fear and trembling, we refrained from speaking at the proper time. We were glad when the juniors called our first class meeting, when we elected Ora Ipshaw, Edith Hughes, Louise Hudson, and Mary Lynn Sims as our officers, and organized ourselves into a class. We were happier still when the juniors presented us with a nice banner and gave us a picnic at the Country Club. We began to consider ourselves the honored guests of the college, but this belief was not long cher- ished, for the sophomores had not forgotten that freshmen are usually initiated into college life by certain rites and ceremonies, and they assumed the entire responsibility of administering the uninvited dose. Consequentlx, on one bright morning we appeared, very improperly clad, in the halls and corridors, and, worse still, when we entered the dining room, all rules of etiquette were shamefully disregarded. But when an order came from the sophomores, it was an unquestioned law to the freshmen. Revenge is sweet, though. The morning after the epoch-making night, when the freshmen staged a feast while the sophomores slept, every freshman was sincere in the belief that there were no more worlds to contiuer. But why cast a shadow upon the present by dwelling on the hardships and difficulties of our first year at Shorter? They were many, and the year was endless. We could only wait for a better tomorrow, when we hoped to be lord instead of vassal. No one but a sophomore knows what that word really means! There was in the heart of every sophomore who came back to Shorter in September of 1922 a feeling of confidence and su- periority and, most of all, a desire to get revenge from the juniors by abusing the freshmen, their only children. And so, with Ora Ipshaw, Edith Hughes, Louise Hudson, and Louise Rumble as our officers, we became the conquerers, with the freshmen as our obedient subjects. We began to feel like Napoleons, physically and mentally, and we almost forgot that we had a superior on the hill. We set ourselves on a pedestal, so to speak, and these words express our attitude toward the freshmen: We have all knowledge; ask of us. As a result of our haughty and sophistic attitude, we must have incurred much dislike from members of the Faculty. Very soon we relented, and settled down to work, feeling that a year ' s experience as freshmen had taught us many things, among them the art of studying. As a Christmas present during 1922, Dr. and Mrs. Blocker and little Dan came to us, and they soon proved indispensable to the Sophomore Class. Master Dan became our little mascot, and he was a loyal sophomore throughout the year. He was happiest when the sophomores presented 48 1525 l n n hill) with a [lew companion anil plavinatc in the person of a little dog named Bobby. Now, Dan couldn ' t live without him. We wouldn ' t be real sophomores if we didn ' t treat our seniors with a nice entertainment before they should leave us, and so we gave them a banquet at the Armstrong Hotel, and it was there that we sang High-Minded for the first time — a very nice substitute for the notorious after-dinner speaker. As springtime drew on, very strangely the shadows of impending gloom began to gather on the horizon of sophomores. The season became a faithful reminder that ere long nature would bud forth in her verdure, plants would seek the light, and Shorter campus would blossom forth with little daisies ready to play their role in making the world beautiful. But this was not the onlv part they were to play. The fields of daisies became the workshops of sophomores weeks before commencement. Vet we were happiest when we were busiest, and especially when we were working for our seniors. When the ex-sophomores became juniors in September of 1923, of one accord we decided that it was a nice position, far enough from beginnings to be self-confident and happy, and just near enough to graduation to anticipate a crowning victory. On Thanksgiving juniors were hostesses at a turkey dinner. The dining room had been trans- formed into a Pilgrim scene of long ago. Everyone seemed to enjoy the dinner and the program, especiallv our seniors, who were with us for the first time since they left Shorter. After dinner we invited everv member of the odd generation to Periscope room, which had been changed by junior handiwork into High-Minded Haunt. There we sang and talked and rejoiced. It was indeed a happy reunion. There was certainly a period of exultation and triumph at Shorter in December, Nvhen the nc vs came that Shorter had been granted membership in the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. There was almost a whole night of hallelujahs and rejoicing, manif ested by torch- lights, parades, bonfires, songs, and yells. Dr. Furry commanded our love and esteem, for it was largely through his efforts that Shorter was recognized as a standard college. Juniors are not very good at hide-and-seek, especially when the hiding place is a nice nook in a President ' s office. There is not a spot in the attic or basement of any of the buildings, not a plot of ground within reasonable limits, which has not been traversed and explored by juniors. We even made a trail along with the rats and snakes into the dark depths of the swimming pool basement. All of this searching for a little crook, which had been hidden by the seniors at their leisure. Seniors of 1924-25, fearing lest we betray our own name, and realizing that we would soon lav aside the silken gown of college life and put on the loya viritis, in token of the more exacting labors and responsibilities which were awaiting us in the wide world, tried to assume the dignity due our position as new-made lords of the college, and we found it no small job. On Halloween seniors invited the student body and faculty to a party at the lake. Of course, there were ghosts and witches on the way, and every person crawled through barrels, shook the greasy hands of witches, and went through much misery before she reached the lake, but the good time at the party atoned for all mishaps of the journey there. Far be it from any senior to appear boastful, but, with the nice bookstand and the pillows that the sophomores gave us, and our own ability at interior decorating, we made senior den look very attractive and homelike this year. Ethel DiflFee deserves credit for upholstering a nice window seat, where we were wont to sit and be lulled to repose by the birds and feast upon the beauty of the surrounding mountains as we built our castles in Spain, and longed for something to do. During the Christmas season, seniors and sophomores became children again at the Christmas 49 A%m B25 -M tree, at which the seniors were hostesses. Santa came, and everybody «as happy. It was really an enjoyable occasion. The period of exams of the first semester was not altogether a time of gloom and disappoint- ment, for we were made happy by the announcement that Shorter had been recognized as eligible for membership in the American Association of Colleges. We realized that membership in this standardizing agency would mean much for Shorter ' s future. There has been a custom at Shorter for many years for a table to be installed in the center of the dining room, with seniors as its only occupants. As faithful adherents of custom, when the custom happens to comply with our own wishes, we enjoyed what seniors who had gone before us had enjoved. This was one of the times and places that we found it almost impossible to assume the necessary senior dignity, especially when we desired to communicate from one end of the table to the other. Vet senior table will always be one of our most pleasant memories of Shorter. The remainder of the vear was filled to overflowiiig with senior recitals, entertaiinnent, and work galore. Our minds toda are under the spell of two great forces — memory and hope. Of memory, as we look back over the years now ended, which have furnished us experiences from the power of which this life is too brief to free us; of hope, as each stands ([uestioning her own future, realizing its unavoidable uncertainties. I can wish nothing higher or happier for us than that, through our lives, in joy or sorrow, in brightest sunshine or deepest shadow, there may remain with us, as we look back over these four vears, the consciousness of duty well performed and of life faithfully lived. Caroi.v Hendersov, Class llisloriaii. 50 Amm 1525 m DAISIES WON T TELL SI 1525 m nn Daisies Won t Tell? NCE more the exception must prove the rule, for, if the old adage of Daisies won ' t tell should hold true, where should I be? Here I am, given the mighty task of prophesying what the 1925 members of the high-minded generation will be doing in 1932! However, I feel sure that the daisy will come to my aid in this telling moment; ' for, several months ago, when I had besought every known oracle to give me a hint of the future, I tried radio, glass spheres, even the usual dream method, but, unfortunately, all proved vain. But one day I was walking down old Shorter Hill, beseeching even the blades of grass to shoot upward and pierce the cloudlike maze enfolding 1932, when lo! a mighty throng of daisies came into view. It seemed as though they beckoned to me, as if they cried: Oh, maid of the high-minded generation, we ' ll help you! And one bright-eyed daisy made bold to say: On June first, remember this verse: Daisy, bright. For those out of sight. Be thou now my guiding light. ' If you will pick one of my descendants, your friend from the daisy chain, she will reveal to vou what I tell her of the future. Pluck each of her petals, and in so doing you will learn the fate of your sisters of the high-minded generation. And so now has come the time to test the validity of our friend, the daisy, and to disprove the old adage. I will take a daisy and do as I was bid, pulling the flower apart, as though I said, He loves me, he loves me not. The petal appears blurred; writing is taking form. Why, here is Mary Lynn ' s name: All ' s Wright with Mary Lvnn these days. Besides being a good cook, she is an able gardener, as well. Glancing at this name, it looks like Nora — oh, it ' s Ora! — and someone is saying: Don ' t let Armstead be Earnest. Al ! poor old Al ! He had been trying to do that very thing these many years, but the beautiful Ora was not so easily won, much less held. Yet now I see more writing: Mrs. Al Holder, hostess at the Biltmore Hotel to a reunion of the Class of 1925 of Shorter. Well, it seems although Armstead was Earnest, it required Al to Holder. Whv, here is the living image of old Marg Hendricks! And, as usual, she is jumping up and down, joyfully exclaiming over her recent trip to Cartersville, just as she used to do, when she and Grandma King made their monthly trips to this city of gravitation. It is quite evi- dent that this love of Cartersville ( ?) has remained constant, though variable were the moods of Marg, our Dulcy of 1925. Having pulled so many petals, the rest begin to fall, and each is taking the shape of an indi- vidual. I hesitate to pick them up, so fragile are they — I fear they may fade away, and their message with them. Here is a Titian-haired maiden, tall, aristocratic, though, as 1 look more closely, I see that she is bereaving herself of the excess Titian and, standing in her golf suit, she looks even more like a man. All right. Miss Hughes — Mr. ' alentino is on vacation; ready for you to understudy now. And Edith strides off to the movie set to prepare for her coming picture. The new Valentino, a Florida belle, succeeds Rodolph in the Sheik of Shorter. Pathe news further states that Mr. ' alentino designated Miss Hughes to understudy him, declaring her to be the only person he felt was capable of succeeding him. Here ' s an interesting picture in the Nriv York Times. It reads: Southern beauty, educated at Southern college, returns from tour in Europe. Miss Elizabeth Gaillard, the world-famous pianist, after scoring profound hit in courts of the continent, returns to her native land, and is met by scores of friends. In the cut, reading from left to right, are: Miss Gaillard, Miss Rose Larmer, the pianist ' s first teacher, and Miss Mahla Kent, the reporter for the U ' orLt A ' ' -iw, to inter- view the pianist. Miss Kent was a girlhood friend and college chum of M ' ss Ciaillard. And, while I am speaking of musicians, I would like to know what Leila Mae is doing. Ah! here it is — an excerpt from the Allaiitic Monthly, worded thus: Dr. W. D. Furry, famous psy- chologist, at last baffled by peculiar case of Mile. Bonner, Olympic basbetball champion, and winner also of the composer ' s medal awarded by the I ' niversity of Paris. I hear a peculiar buzzing sound, similar to a radio tuning in, and yet it is more the whir of a buzz-saw. What is Agnes Ketchersid doing with this odd-looking machine? What did you Sz 1525 l S sav, daisy? Oh, it ' s a radioscope, a device to talk to, and at the same time get in close sight of the natives of Mars, eh? A sort of combination radio and telescope, as it were? What is Louise Dve doing over there, flying over the magnificent snow-capped mountains of St. Moritz, Switzerland? Because she is a young woman from a Southern clime, and is prepar- ing herself for attempting a biological research in the forsaken Arctic zone? Chip, clup, chip, clicks Carolyn ' s old Remington. Observing more closely, I see the frontis- piece of her new text — a very learned dissertation on the Proclivities of the Mathematical Mind, and under these words stands, Carolyn Henderson, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. What an interesting travel folder! Why, here are Annie and Ida Young, In a financially supervised guided language instructed course for eight weeks, with or without the twins ' enter- tainment — all for the paltry sum of $1,500! [ I hear inusic — don ' t you? Not music, exactly, but beloEiging to that division of earthly sounds. Here are Rose and Ethel, with the Keith circuit. The placard says: Diffee and Durden, Them- selves. The South ' s Own Sweethearts — Surpasses Paul Whiteman. The silver sheet is before me again. The machine flashes: Coming attractions on the screen: •Elizabeth Everett, in the Queen of Fort Valley. ' (.5eorgia Peach, recently voted the most beau- tiful girl on the screen, has signed a contract with Charles Dana Gibson to go into effect as soon as her contract with the Paramount Company expires. Picking up a copy of Who ' s Who in America, I see, under Henry, Jewel Henry, recent discoverer of cure for hay fever. Her investigation is of great assistance to the medical world, as well as a great stride in the field of chemistry. The cure is a composite of the chemicals gained from Spanish moss, combined with sumac juices, a plant native to the section from which Miss Henry comes. The president of Lcs Affaires de Matrimonie, Virginia Albert, did, as right and proper for a person in her position to do. Looking at Virginia ' s picture in the St. Fiii ' ishunj Sun, we see her expression is far froin haggard, though she became Mrs. Dick Haggart the June we graduated. Another loyal member of this organization against old maid clubs is Alice Lockwood, who, not to be outdone by ' irginia, said Ves to Harry when he said, When shall we marry? Remember how Lucy used to worry about her recital? Well, no longer does she sigh laments, for she got Tom, and now she signs Lamar. Well, all the Toms, Dicks, and Harrys being captured, let ' s look further for the activities of the remaining members. Whv, this looks like the Woolworth building. We ' re in New York; and what is the sign on the office door? President of the American V. W. C. A. Now, I hear a voice — it is Louise Rumble, a sweet-faced young woman, consoling an invalid. Mv, what a jump from New York to Oxford, England! Even an aeroplane couldn ' t have accomplished that so quickly. Look at Frances Jones punting — ooh ! she fell in — splash! What ' s that book she threw so painstakingly on the bank as the craft overturned? Indeed, it is a Phvsics book! What does this mean, O Daisy? Oh, so Frances holds the position of instructor in physics, eh? Well, Dr. McAllister certainly should feel well repaid for the many hours of earnest work in which he endeavored to explain centripetal and centrifugal forces. Who is this tiny creature bending over the easel? Well, if it isn ' t Margaret Mustin, drawing her new illustration for Bottled Energia, the product of Ruby May Sherard! Doing research work together, they ascertained the power and waste of energy, and decided to seek a plan by which they might make energy a commercial product. After hard years of experimentation here, we have the product, which has made them famous and millionaires overnight. Here is a volume entitled ' Appleby ' s Plays and Entertainments for Stage and Circus. ' Beau- tifully illustrated by the famous artist, Mae Morton, whose colorful illustrations adorn most of the popular magazines. The frontispiece shows Miss Appleby in the delicate art of bareback riding. This book, because of its artistic element, won the Nobel prize in 1930. Speaking of literature, reminds me of the new contribution to the world of letters by Corinne Sheppard, the renowned metaphysicist. Her work is entitled, Sleep and Rest, and in this book she declares it absolutely necessary that college girls receive at least sixteen hours of sleep daily. Well, Corinne ought to know, for at least she practiced what she preached. And that ' s more than you can say of the average doctor. In reading the Toicn Topics of New ' ork, I see in a paragraph that Ester Coffin ' s superb dancing is far from what her name might imply — dead. For she is to Florenz Ziegfeld what ice is to iced tea — absolutely necessary. Without Coffin, the piece goes on to say, The Follies would S3 1525 Isi n nS not only be bereft of great beauty, but also of their most charming interpreter of the terpsichorean art. Who is this charming person addressing the group in Congress? Martha Morgan, of all people! Why, she ' s the Speaker of the House! Who would ever have believed that one so (|uiet would have come to fill this position? Well, still water runs deep. What a dear, quaint sign! ' Ye Old Darlington Inn; By the Day, $6; Come in. Southern Atmosphere. Inn Hostess, Rebecca Veargan. So Bee is still keeping open house — just as hospitable as ever. And what of our mascot, Dan? He is entering Harvard this year at the youthful age of 14! Youngest student ever admitted! Tell me of Shorter. Are the girls still going bookety-book through its dear old corridors? What! Shorter is a member of the International Association, composed of only the most intellectual of in- tellectual institutions, the members being Oxford, University of Paris, I ' niversity of Berlin, and Shorter? Well, after Shorter was once admitted to the Southern Association, it did not re |uire long to make great strides in the world of colleges and universities, and Georgia is at last on the map of education. No longer must educators of the South hang their heads in shame, for, by a recent estimate, Cieorgia heads the list in the field of modern educational achievement. Well, little Daisy, all your petals are gone — you ' ve informed me of each classmate of 1925. and as to the future, only your bright center remains. Eh? What ' s that? It ' s symbolic of the future prosperity, light, cheer, and happiness you ' re wishing for each member, present and future, of the high-minded generation? And, so it seems to me, that the old adage is a myth. Because daisies tuill tell — especially, if vou ' re a member of the high-minded generation — and, if you ' re not, and are a daughter of our beloved Alma Mater, I believe they ' ll tell you, too. A. Mahi.a Kent, Class Proplut. 54 1525 m Last Will and Testament of tke Class of ' 25 iJE, the Seni ir Class of Shorter College, city of Rome, covint_ ' of Flo_ d, state of (leor- gia, on the eve of receiving our dismissals from the Institute, feel that our miiuK are in as sane condition as could be expected, after «hat they have been through with, or, rather, what has been through them, the past four years, realizing that this is our opportunitv to have the last word, which every woman does, and as we have so often been told, we only get out of a thing just what we put into it, the Class of ' 25, showing their usual generosity, will not take away as much as they ' ve put into Shorter, but wish to place some of their treasures where they feel they will be best used. Thus we leave our last will and testament. To our Alina Mater we leave our word that in the years to come we shall do all that is in our power to show what she has meant to us, the deep and sincere love we hold for her, and believing her ideals to be the highest and best, endeavor to live up to them. To our beloved president. Dr. Blocker, we leave (i) our Argo as a token of appreciation and the high esteem in which we hold him; {2) twenty-eight vacancies in the so-called Senior Class to be filled bv the most deserving members of the whoop ' em up generation — if there should be more than such a number, he has our permission to use them also, for they need more in ([uantity to make up for what they lack in quality; (3) the beautiful rugs he presented the Class of ' 25. As a symbol of the pleasure we derived from them, we have added to the design several spots of colors, as the ro al purple of our ever-read - ink bottle, the golden yellow of rinktum diddy, and the delicate brown of hot water cocoa. To Dr. Furry, who has been our guiding light for the past four years, we leave (i) our sin- cerest appreciation for his untiring efforts to lead us straight to higher things; (2) our earnest thankfulness for his presence, as we can ' t imagine what we might have bean without him; (5) a countless number of text-books, practically new, bearing no trace of use, including an especially good line of psychology and education books which we ' ve heard contain very interesting information. May he derive as much pleasure from reading them as we have from refraining from such. To Mrs. Bryan, though we ' ve only known her a short time, we ' ve learned to love her, we leave our privilege of riding from town vith boys. May she have more opportunity to use it than we did! To all our dear teachers, who have labored so long and faithfully to see that we learned something, we leave our term papers on various and varying subjects, in hope of compensating for their untiring efforts and willingness to serve. The cooking brigade of the Senior Class leaves to Mrs. Haynes their unique but complete book on How to Secure a Meal, Day or Night, Without Materials or I ' tensils. To the Class of ' 26, we do hiereby leave, (i) the privileges which have been handed down to us ; though prized for their age, they are becoming sadly worn. Thus we advise that you guard them carefully, or soon they ' ll be gone. (2) The cafeteria, known as senior table. Remember alwavs that you should live up to the common meaning of the word, and help yourselves, and let it be understood that you ' re to talk unnecessarily of everything, and particularly of everyone, while at said cafeteria. (3) The left end of senior corridor, where, to the rhythm of left, right, left, right, halt, heard from the gymnasium, you take your daily dozen. (4) The privilege of hearing a midnight organ recital every night. Our class was the first to have this privilege, and it is with pleasure that we give it to you. (5) Our dignity, which has been used only on the most solemn occasions. May you never have any less. To the best class on the hill, our sophomores, we do hereby bequeath: (i) The Song of the 55 1925 i N Ages, High-Minded, which your grandmothers and great-grandmothers have sung before you. May }ou ever hold it dear. (2) Some of the double-jinted ' spirit, which, mixed with the best Shorter spirit, will keep you a worthy member of the odd generation. (3) The whistle, which is to be used wherever or whenever you wish, but only by the Class of ' 27. {4) Our worldly goods (a) patriarch of Senior Hall — Vic ; (b) the two shining lights of the Senior Class — i. e., the floor lamp and reading lamp; (c) and the accessories, though given to us as a token of your love, after years of use, we return them as the same token. Though our worldly possessions are few and limited, our love for you knows no bounds. For the once green Class of ' 28, we leave our congratulations for what they ' ve accomplished in just one year, and a word of encouragement: Work, for it ' s worth it. To Misses Helen Hardman, Mary Hardman, Eleanor Joiner, Ellen Carswell, Lucille Beckham, Rebekah Skeen, ' irginia Davis, Lucille Williams, Carolyn Jelks, Elizabeth Johnston, and Sara Brown, is left something new, and yet something old — this honor, for such it will be explained in an empty suite at midnight on September 15, 1925. Miss Mary Appleby leaves her thorough knowledge and fluent use of slang to Miss Mary Young, feeling the explanation of using such is unnecessary. Misses Margaret Hendricks and Ethel Diffee leave their large collection of records on how to grow thin to Misses Mary Nix and Elizabeth Wade. Miss Mary Brogdon leaves her book, How to CJet Wright, to the V. W. Cabinet of Shorter. Miss Virginia Albert leaves to Miss Dot Moody her ability to write love letters without using recitation periods for such. Miss Corinne Sheppard leaves to Miss Sara Hattaway her nonchalant manner of forgetting studies and sinking into the arms of Morpheus at the unearthly hour of eight-thirty. Miss Carolyn Henderson leaves to Miss Marguerite Shields her ability to pass without studying. Miss Alice Lockwood leaves to the Shorter Library her latest book, Making a Trousseau a Part of Your College Life. Miss Louise Rumble, though feeling it unnecessary, leaves to Miss Sara Brown her curiosity, which is never satisfied. Miss Jewel Henry leaves to Miss E elyn Sheffield the secret of her capacity for making A ' s, which is studying to jazz. Miss Elizabeth Everett leaves to Miss Dell Moss her power to be seen, and not heard. Misses Annie and Ida Young leave to the Physics Department information on how to be heard without a loud speaker. Miss Leila Mae Bonner leaves to Miss Mary Moritz the corner room of the Infirmary, which she has homesteaded during the past four years. Miss Ora Upshaw leaves her persuasive powers to Miss Frances Johnson. Said powers to be used only with her teachers when in dire need. We hereby appoint Miss Evelyn Shefheld executrix on this, our last will and testament. Signed, declared, and published by the Senior Class as their last will and testament, on this, the first day of June, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-five.

These same ideals, the dauntless purpose, and the indomitable spirit we inherited from My Mammy, has been especially characteristic of the Polymnians of 1925. They returned this with their accustomed vitality, achieving another glorious victory in the history of Polymnians. Not only did they recei e the majority of the many fine freshmen, but also won the silver loving cup offered by the alumnae association at the annual bazaar. So it is with deep regret that we see the year come to a close, for Polymnia, the goddess of music, love, and beauty, has reigned in the red, white, and green hall, and happiness has reigned in the hearts of Polymnians. 196 1925 Eil r nS| My Mammy My mammy told me Long time ago : Say, chile, don ' t you join Any otiier club you know; You ' ll lose all yo ' honor, ' Crease all yo ' voe ; What in the world ' ll become of you, Nobody knows.

Through the work of the many chapters of the association scattered over the state, they seek to emphasize the high standards of their Ahna Mater, to aid young girls by means of scholarships, and to contribute funds for endowment and improvement of the college. Their most recent gift was a swimming pool installed in the fall of 1922, at a cost of almost $2o,()()0.

The association under its able president, Luc ' Shivers, has finished a very progressive i,ear. The interclass games began with the volley ball season. After several hard-fought battles the Freshmen came out victorious. Quite an interesting feature of the season was the Faculty-All Star game, in which the faculty was victorious as usual. The Seniors took the basketball cup, with the black and green flying victoriously, to Senior Hall to remain for the rest of the year. This victory was won after several hard-fought games that showed careful training and good sportsmanship. The Sophomore and Freshmen classes challenged the Juniors for possession of the swimming cup, but the Juniors could not be beaten, so they carried the cup away another year. The swimming meet was interesting too on account of the many at- tractive stunts pulled off by the various classes in swimming. This year May day festivities were under the auspices of the Athletic Association, with Lucv Shivers, chairman; Natalie Barton, Junior representative, and Vera Coch- ran, Sophomore representative. A playlet, entitled The Queen of the Garden , was given and Mary Lynn Brogdon, as an American beauty rose, was crowned queen. The tennis tournament is just beginning as this article goes to press so the results cannot be published, but it can be said that each class is anxiously anticipating victory for her team. The class representatives are as follows: Senior — Marv Appleby Lucv Shivers Carolyn Henderson J II III 01 ' — Evelyn Sheffield Mildred Tyler Isabel Jones Sophoniori ' — Mary Galloway Montine Shields Louise Ketchersih FrcshiiKin — Acnes Fleming Louise Hendricks Ethel Morton 136 a Ul m j m Six Ages of American Girls Tne Indian The Prettiest Elizarhth Evhrett The Puritan The Oiiiihitcst Lucv Shivers The Colonial The Jlnnih ' tinest Esther Coeeix The Southern The Daintiest Elizabeth Joi The Western The Most Athletie ISABEL JoNES The Modern The M ' jst Stylish DoROTfn ' R-VAN MISS ni.iZAHii ' TH Ti k i:r. m. - qlhi-x, 24 1525 m Tke Calend ar Shorter!

In consequence of this recognition, Shorter has become better known than ever before, and the applications for admission are far in advance of previous years. This general recognition, together with exceptional location and splen- did equipment, has brought to Shorter a very high place among the higher institutions of learning in America. The knowledge of this recognition has reached the graduates and former students of the college, and has given rise to a new and enlarged interest in the welfare and growth of the institution. During the year now closing an added recognition has come to the college with its admission to the Association of American Colleges on December 9, 1925. The Association of American Colleges is not a standardizing agency, as is the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, but an organization of standard colleges with its own standards and policy. It enforces certain requirements for admission, but its primary purpose is to unite all its members into a co-operative work of self- imiirovenient through cooperative study of the problems of college life, and seeking solutions wherever possible. This work of the association is carried on consecutively year by year through commissions, whose reports form the most important part of the program of the annual meetings. These reports are supplemented, however, by papers and addresses of a more general character by persons of outstanding ability and expe- rience in the educational world. Two years ago the association devoted all its time to the discussion of the topic, The Place of Religion in Higher Education. At the last meeting, held in December, the chief topic of discussion was, The Social and Civic Responsibility and Opportunity of American Colleges and Their Graduates. Individual colleges and the members of the faculties of these colleges are expected to make worth-while contributions to the problems that are proposed for investigation, and institutions are admitted to membership because of their position in the academic world. During the past year such institutions as Princeton and Cornell were ad- mitted, lembership in this association means a great deal to Shorter, and brings to the college a much wider recognition than comes through membership in the Southern Association. Individuals and institutions abroad know American colleges largely, if not wholly, through their membership in the American Association. These two recognitions make Shorter the equal in academic standing of other insti- tutions of the South, and will contribute materially to Shorter ' s growing recognition in the academic world. 157 fEJ A%m 1925 IS] n n KIWANIS CLUB OF ROME, GA.

Among the guards She can ' t be beat. With her in the ranks Seniors never expect defeat. Edith ' s not afraid of the ball, For she makes it her duty to get it. And the forward who plays against her Is certainly doomed to regret it. Excuse me, please, Oh, pardon me. ' She ' s so pleasingly polite. Says the game ' s just sport And not a place to fight. When Annie Twin guards Our fears all flee. And to the forward we lend Heart-felt sympathee. When she plays And plays her best It ' s good-bye, Juniors, And all the rest. Lucy never walks with the ball And she never holds. And with her one-arm shots She always makes the goals. Swift as the wind, Yet calm and serene. She ' s made a fine member Of a pretty good team. 1 60 1925 l ' Tall in stature, Strong of build, Ida makes the best center There is on the hill. Nimble and quick And surprisingly spry, She makes every goal Without seeming to try. Alice is a player We didn ' t know about, But with much persuasion She finally came out. With just a little training And practice enough, She helped the Seniors Win the much wanted cup. Carolyn is so quick And alway s so full of pep That she fairly assumes victory With every step. She has that bulldog grip And fights like a Tiger cat, Put on her high code of morals She always stands pat. So these you see, dear people, Form the team of ole ' 25.

Back to the acaileniic building in feverish haste after chapel to find no mail and was filled with such sorrow that I resorted to philoso|ihi .ing on the crowd which does surround the mail boxes. Ik ' Sheffield and Ora L ' pshaw attract me each day by the joy with which they snatch their mail, and, as Miss Sheffield has aptly put it, Bookety book down the corridor and get busy reading sweet nothings. There too docs stand our Miss Louise Dye, who limps, poor wretch, from a hurt in tennis, but when standing does put me in mind of the famous general, standing there like a stone wall. Such is the stolidity and steadfastness of her character. Was divided between enjoying delightful bits of nonsense as spoken by Katherine Orr and seeing how symbolical of life it is that Virginia Albert and Mary Nix. both so tall, have boxes on the bottom row, while little Louise Brown must exercise herself greatly to reach the topmost box. The great hubbub there does increase when Savannah, represented by ALihla Kent, Cecilia Huff, Elizabeth Gaillard and little red-headed ALary Thompson, does begin a .session in that fascinating geechie talk. Ah. there goes Ir. Vare adding to his collection of hairpins picked up from the Hoor. The thirty-third bell for the day rings! To class! Having got no mail and being broke, I pass the remainder of the day in total oblivion. Home then at twilight to my sweet roommate, who soothes me by lending me her new dress to wear to dinner and I do go and spill soup thereon. That soup is the last straw. Ha! Ha! I laugh with fiendish glee. Such is the life of a Freshman. With what relief I do greet the light bell and tumble into my trundle bed with only a mumbled prayer for my soul ' s sahation. but a liearty one that the rat who v-isits is will not find my white kid gloves.

The finest commendation any school can receive is the enthusiastic ap- proval by the public at large of its ideals and methods. There are reasons for this success. From the beginning the policy of the College has been broad, farsighted, and reasonably idealistic. Its present organization is the result of careful experience. Recently the interest of the General Education Board, founded by Mr. Rockefeller, became interested in Shorter and, after examina- tion by Dr. Sage, returned a judgment which is an outstanding trib- ute. A substantial gift was made as the nucleus of an endowment. Two academic recognitions have come to Shorter during the past eighteen months — membership in the Association of American Col- leges and the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Exceptmg one recognition now pending. Shorter has reached the goal of academic recognition, and her place in the world of higher education is assured. The immediate need of Shorter is 200 young women of the highest intellectual ability and moral character. One hundred new students must be secured by the opening of the next academic year. The alumnae of the College can best reach these young women and establish relations between them and the College. As your presi- dent-elect, I challenge every graduate and former student of the College to share with me this first task of building a larger student body. A new view book and catalogue will be mailed to all names sent to my office. W. D.
