! PUBLISHED BY cfTUDENTcf OF cTHORTER COLLEGE ROME, GA. DEDICATION TO THE MASTER CRITIC Paul M. Cousins Who has been content to stand behind the scenes; whose slight gesture of disap- proval, quiet word of encouragement and slow smile of confidence have inspired in us the desire to put into the playing of our roles the richness of beauty and of truth, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-eight, lovingly dedicate this volume of the Argo. DEDICATION V All the world ' s a stage; And all the men and tvomcn only players. In a theatre of classical beauty on Shorter Hill the Class of ' 28 is enacting the drama of Life. Ahead of the players is Act III, which holds for us we know not what amount of success, of failure, of laughter, of heartbreak. Act II is finished. The action is complete and unalterable. Our faces are turned toward the future. But let us pause here to grasp a little more tightly those cruel lessons of experience, those invaluable memories of the past. It is to recall the clasp of an encouraging hand, the gay irresponsibility of youth, the deep understanding of friendship that this volume has been printed. And if, in days to come, some dark path is brightened by this brief review of our college life, our mission is fulfilled. We shall feel that we have, in a measure, repaid the great debt we owe our fellow players. PROLOGUE THE SETTING U THE m THE REPERTOIRE IV THE IJVTEIMLUDE V OPDER OF PPE ENTATKW THE SHORTER GIRL ' S CREED I believe in girls, in the women of the 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 ex- ample, 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 workroom, 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 JETTING I THE, Board of Trustees OFFICERS J. P.

In September, 1924, an unorganized group of actors made its advent upon Shorter Hill. When the curtain rose on the first act the world was astonished that these crude, untrained amateurs should have so soon fitted into their various roles. How could a mere audience be expected to know that behind the scene there was a stage director in whom each member of the cast had im- plicit faith? In the future we shall miss your guidance, Louise, but we shall never forget. Whatever the achievements of the Class of ' 28, whatever our preparation for our roles in the drama of life, we attribute them to the Whoop- ' em-up ideals which you have always held so high.

Fate, in a kindly spirit, dealt Anne a hand that was rich with all the talents she had to offer. But fearing that such an endowment, left undirected, might make the game too easy, she chose as her opponent that master player, Luck. The game is less than half finished yet, but even now the result seems almost sure. Instead of conquering, Luck has simply brought out the fight- ing spirit, the strength of character. Today we know Anne, calm, friendly, sure. Regardless of how long the game or how relentless the opponent, Anne, you have proved yourself in the past, and we ' re counting on you in the future. enior Cl ass MARY YOUNG Cedartown, Georgia Polymnlan, Secretary.

Everything always seems lovely around her, and if troubles ever beset her no one ever knows about them. Laughing Mary is the best antidote for the blues known. Her ambition is to be president of a select school for girls; and her activities have well fitted her for such a post. LOL ' ISE GAINES Dothan, Alabama Pulymnlan, President, ' 28; Kid Club; H. O.

If your imagination is capable of combining a lazy, summer, Southern disposition, a flashing, dry wit expressed in a ' Kama drawl, a quiet will that comes out on top, and a spirit of mischief that cannot be quelled, you have Lou. Polymnians expressed their love for her when they joined her in putting Shorter Spirit into song. And this, Lou, is the way the Whoop- ' em-ups of ' 28 say, We love you. 28 JULIA BEVERLY Thomasville, Georgia Pulymnian; Camerata Club, ' 24; Reta Pi Theta. Corresponding Secretary, ' 27, Treasurer, ' 28; Honor Roll, ' 27, ' 28; Le Cercle Francaise. Although Julia isn ' t a Mohammedan, she has her Mecca Atlanta and makes a pilgrimage thence just as often as her pocketbook will permit, and sometimes when it won ' t. We haven ' t decided just which is the attraction Tech, Emory, Oglethorpe, or all. Anyway, there is no doubt that they are all attracted to her, for Julia is a Shorter beauty, and also one of the belles of the school.

Once, long years ago, when Luce was giving her rapt attention to a fairy story, the virtues of economy were enlarged upon. In her childish enthusiasm she determined to employ strict econ- omy along the lines of energy. The early conviction held, and even now Lucy feels that she must think twice before exerting herself unduly. But perhaps it is because she has always guarded it so jealously that, when the crucial moment arrives, she is transformed into a veritable dynamo of energy. These sudden outbursts are a source of constant surprise to those who see only the calm, nonchalant Lucy, but they are the assurance of her capability to those who know her.

What will Shorter be like when Cherub takes her smile to some point far distant from Rome? Has there ever been anyone else as cheerful, good natured and fun-provoking as our Cherub ? There will remain behind her a train of pleasant memories Cherub as little George Wash- ington with hatchet and three-cornered hat, Cherub as a red-faced, bewhiskered Santa Claus, Cherub in flaming red wig singing Animal Crackers , Cherub as ring-master of the circus in red coat, puttees and black silk hat, Cherub in her yellow smock and tarn jazzing off rhythm with the Syncopators. These and countless other memories will hold her on Shorter Hill. May she continue to scatter sunshine and good cheer through all her future walks of life. MARGARKT BROWN Rome, Georgia Polymnian; Rome Girls ' Club; International Relations Club. Margaret is one of those girls that people admire because she is so willing to do a favor for anyone who asks it. Girls on the Hill who enjoy rides in automobiles so seldom as to consider it as a novelty to ride, will remember Margaret kindly for her generosity with her car and the accommodating spirit with which she has endeared herself to many. This accommodating way of Margaret ' s is the least of her attributes, however, for she possesses a very friendly disposition and a charming personality. MARY ROLTH BUCHANAN Dalton, Georgia Polymnian; Phi Kappa Alpha; Chi Delta Phi, Secretary, ' 28; Classical Club, Treasurer, ' 25; Le Cercle Francaise; Associate Editor Argo, ' 28; Associate Editor Periscope, ' 27; Editor-in-Chief Peri- scope, ' 28; Henor Roll, ' 25, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. There are some people who noisily applaud the progress of the world. There are others who quietly bring about the progress. Mary Routh was put in this latter class when her god-mothers blessed her. When we are with her we are fascinated by the thought of what is going on behind her twinkling eyes; when ve have left her we wonder how so many novel ideas could have occurred to her. Because of the lack of room in an overcrowded brain, some of her gems must be given to the public when this occurs we curl up in our favorite chair and devour the latest issue of the Periscope. Acknowledging our selfish motives, Mary Routh, we implore you to give up your hope of a life of leisure and to keep us entertained through the years.

' 26, ' 27, ' 28; Track, ' 27, ' 28; Baseball, Captain, ' 27, ' 28; Tennis, 27, ' 28; Wearer of S. After recounting practically all the honors Shorter affords, what need is there to say more? Mary- is a literary genius, a star athlete, a wonderful actress and a charming girl. Obstacles mean nothing to her; she tackles them bravely, surmounts them and always goes over the top with flying colors. She has been with us but three short years, going first to Limestone and then coming to Shorter not that she loved Csesar less, but Rome more and we hate to bid her adieu. )enior Class ROSALYN BROWN Newnan, Georgia Eunomlan; Epsilon Delta, Treasurer, ' 28; Thug; Why Knot; S.

' 25, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28; Honor Roll, ' 25, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. It is difficult to find words that do justice to Rosalyn. Earnest, thoughtful, kind, and sincere; thus does she possess those characteristics which make of her one of the most beloved and influ- ential girls at Shorter. She has devoted herself whole-heartedly and enthusiastically to the carrying on of the work of the Y. W. C. A., of which she is president, and she has been very successful at it. Snorter ' s loss will be great when Rosalyn leaves. EMMIE COLCLOUGH Penfield, Georgia Polymnian; International Relations Club; Librarian International Relations Club; Hispanic Society. Scholarly is Emmie, and conscientious in her work. She has stood at the top of many of her classes and her labors have been justly rewarded by good marks. She possesses a rare good nature, which is unruffled by the petty disturbances of school life, and her consideration of others, her cheerfulness and warm-heartedness have made her a valued friend. Senior Class LOUISE ETHRIDGE Richland, Georgia Polymnian; Phi Kappa Alpha; Y. V. C. A. Cabinet, ' 28; Choral Club; Art Editor Argo, ' 28; S. O. S.; Honor Roll, ' 28. Lou came to us as a sophomofe from Wesleyan, much heralded because of her record there. Her winning personality and ready smiles have made friends for her by the scores. Although Lou will not admit it, we firmly believe that it is her ambition to rival John Held, Jr., in the realm of art, and if she continues as she has begun, that well-known cartoonist must look to his laurels. RTTH EVANS Mayfield, Kentucky Polymnian; Classical Club, Secretary, ' 27, President, ' 28; International Relations Club; Honor Roll, 26, ' 27, ' 28. Kentucky wanted one of her fair daughters to represent her in the Class of ' 28 at Shorter, so she recalled our lovely Ruth from the Tennessee College for Women, way back in 1925, and sent her down to Georgia. Ruth is one of our brightest stars, but if modesty or one ' s self appraisal were used to gauge one ' s capacities, she would suffer sadly under measurement. Senior Class ANITA POE GANN .................. Chattanooga, Tennessee Kunomlan; Student Council, ' 27, ' 28; Camerata, President, ' 28; Choral Cluh; Hispanic Society; Volley Ball, ' 25, ' 26, ' 27.

What will the Conservatory at Shorter be without Anita, who has spent her college career within its hallowed practice rooms? Perhaps her portrait will adorn the Harmony Room some day. If anyone desired music or anything musical, Anita was immediately sought. Hers has been a brilliant record, not only in the Department of Music, but in others as well. Anita is very versatile in her talents. We do not often think of a great musician being extremely athletic, hut Anita excels in all the various sports and served during her senior year as a most capable and clever athletic president. BLANCHE GASTON Rome, Georgia Eunomian; Rome Girls ' Club; Phi Kappa Alpha. One of Blanche ' s most outstanding characteristics might well be that of perseverance, because she has stuck to her school work in spite of hindrances. If she displays as much of this quality in her work after graduation we can assure her success. Blanche is well liked by her classmates and esteemed by her professors. 34 hut enior Cl ass CORRIE ETTA HALL New Albany, Mississippi Eunomian; Epsilon Delta; S. O.

It is quite fitting that Corrie and Betty should occupy the same page in the annual as they do in our memories. Coming to us in our junior year we looked at them from all aspects and decided that they were worthy to be called Whoop- ' em-ups. They soon found their places in Shorter life, and have helped us over many a rough place. In religious work they have been ever dependable, and their literary work has caused the class to swell with pride. In the two years that they have been with us they have become so much a part of Shorter that it is hard to think of the Hill without them. We cannot help but wonder how the end of college life will affect the friendship of the two who have been so inseparable for four years first at Westhamp- ton and then here. But even in the midst of our wonder we are confident that, while Fate may lay their paths far apart physically, their hearts will be bound together by a bond of friendship that knows no breaking. 35 Cl ass EVELYN HEIFNER Sebring, Florida Eunomian; Phi Kappa Alpha; Shorter Players; Choral Club; International Relations Club; Hispanic Society; Associate Editor of Periscope ; Chi Delta Phi, Treasurer.

When opportunity knocks at her door it will not be in vain. Evelyn was born with good brains and many talents. And she herself has provided the hard labor necessary to reach whatever goal she sets herself. If her life in college is any indication, we see great things in store for her. ELIZABETH KING Atlanta, Georgia Eunomian; Kappa Gamma Tau; Rome Girls ' Club; Honor Roll, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. Beth, although an Atlanta girl, comes to Shorter as a town girl, staying in Rome with relatives. She is loved by both town and resident students with whom she comes in contact, because of her friendly disposition, her deep sincerity and sympathy; she lends a sympathetic ear to anyone who wants to tell her troubles. Beth has always been interested in every phase of Shorter life, demon- strating that interest by closely attending every performance of any kind given on the Hill. She is and always will be a loyal Shorter daughter. r Senior Class RUTH MORELL LILLARD Sweetwater, Tennessee Eunomian; Le Cercle Francaise; Hispanic Society; International Relations Club, Secretary and Treas- urer, ' 28; Track Team, ' 28; Honor Roll, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. In Ruth one finds a friend who is loyal and true. She is unusually warm-hearted and kind, a lover of the beautiful, and possesses that gentleness of nature which marks a gentlewoman. Ruth is a very scholarly student, putting herself conscientiously into her work and being rewarded by coveted A ' s. Her major subject has been history; she has read histories and, incidentally, His stories, many of the latter kind especially. As secretary of the International Relations Club she has been an efficient and energetic worker. DORIS McCoRMiCK Meridian, Mississippi Eunomian; Phi Kappa Alpha, Secretary and Treasurer, ' 28; Shoiter Players; Hispanic Society. The name Doris instantly calls to mind Julia Beverly, boys, town, and Atlanta; for Doris and Julia are inseparable they have dates incessantly, and go to town morning, noon and night. And Atlanta? That lovely city acts as a magnet to them. Doris, ably assisted by Julia, carries on the interurban social life of Shorter. ISABELLE MILLER Fort Payne, Alabama Eunomian, Treasurer, ' 28; Thug; Phi Kappa Alpha; Shorter Players. Secretary, ' 28; Hispanic Society; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, ' 28; Honor Roll, ' 25, ' 27. Isabelle, or Izzy, as she is more familiarly called, is the fair daughter of one of our neighbor- ing states. She came to us as the belle of Alabama, and will leave as the belle of Shorter. Petite Isabelle is one of our most talented girls, rivaling Sara Bernhardt in her histrionic ability. We can never find anyone to take her place on the campus. ETHNEL DYER MORTON Rome, Georgia Polymiiian; Rome Girls ' Club, Secretary, ' 2(i, President, ' 28; Shorter Players, Treasurer and Business Manager, ' 28; 1 ' hi Kappa Alpha; International Relations Club, Vk-e-Prrsident, ' 28; Swimming, Captain, ' 25, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. As a rule the town girls aren ' t so well known to those who winter on the Hill, but Ethnel is an exception to the rule. Her prominent part in dramatic work and her capable management of the swimming team have brought her into the limelight. But, exercising the privilege of a friend, we shall make sure that the world does not shower her with undue praise. Therefore, be it known that, were it not for the unfailing and uncomplaining assistance of Felix the flivver even Ethnel herself could not have proved such an ever alert business manager of Shorter Players. May there ever be a Felix to spur you on! Jemor Cl ass MARY FRANCES Nix ........ .........

Mary left the High-Minded folds to join the Whoop- ' em-up ranks. Instead of returning to receive her degree last year, she waited until this year, and the Class of ' 28 received a valuable addition, because Mary is a thorough-going, loyal Whoop- ' em-up. She is a delightful person to be around because of her dry wit and keen sense of humor. We wonder whether or not she obtained her witticisms from Cicero or Cjesar; being a Latin major she must surely be well acquainted with those noble Romans. We imagine that some day Mary will be an interesting teacher who will make of Latin verbs an interesting study. MARY HARRIET PAINTER Chattanooga, Tennessee Eunomian; Beta PI Theta, President, ' 28; Hispanic Society; Honor Roll, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. Mary is positive in character, and has that innate ability of minding her own business and of going about her quiet way, leaving others to do the same. She is not given to talking a great deal, but when she does say something we find ourselves listening to her with rare interest. She is one of those rare people who do things their own way and do them well. Mary has been so vividly described as an exotic, intriguing Russian princess; certainly she is an aristocrat. Hers will assuredly be an interesting career in life, for she is the type that inspires men to write poetry. v enior Cl ass ELIZABETH POWERS Rome, Georgia Polymnian; Rome Girls ' Club, Secretary, ' 25; Phi Kappa Alpha; Shorter Players; Student Council, ' 28. There is nothing that will impede Beth ' s progress. Although she is small of stature, she is great in her abilities. Beth was away for one semester while she became a successful school teacher; then back to Shorter she came. Now she has made up all of her work, and in June when the diplomas are handed out there will be one bearing her name. FRANCES RAY Monroe, Georgia Polymnian; Phi Kappa Alpha; Classical Club. Frances is a quiet, gentle girl, and has been a conscientious worker since her enrollment at Shorter. She is serene, calm, and unassuming, never ruffled or angry; just the type of person that makes the world a pleasant place in which to live. A sincere student and true friend is Frances, and she is sure to be greatly missed on the campus next year. 40 HANNES REYNOLDS Meridian, Mississippi Eunomtan, Treasurer, ' 27, President, ' 28; Thug, Leader of Thugs, ' 28; Epsilon Delta, Secretary, ' 28; Cotillion, Secretary and Treasurer, ' 28; Phi Kappa Alpha; Shorter Players; Business Manager, 1928 Argo ; Honor Roll, ' 26. ' 27, ' 28. Should a person ever be asked to describe Hannes, we would suggest that they resign the task to Mr. Webster. We would extend our deepest sympathy because of the inadequacy of his adjec- tives. As their president she led Eunomians to greater heights. On the literal stage of the theater she is an actress who captivates her audience, and on the figurative stage of life she graciously accepts the homage of the hearts laid at her feet. ALICE FRANCES REED Biltmore, North Carolina Eunomlan; Phi Kappa Alpha; Hispanic Society; Tennis Team, ' 27; Track Team, ' 27; Wearer of the S ; Honor Roll, ' 27, ' 28. From the Tar Heel State comes Frances; she comes with a winning smile and a sunny disposition, which makes for her a large place in the hearts of those who know her. One of her noblest attributes is her thoughtfulness of other people; she seems never to think of herself, but finds the most genuine happiness in making others happy. Frances is a person who enjoys hobbies, and one from which she derives much pleasure is designing decorations for rooms. We feel that she should have undertaken interior decoration, and perhaps she will try her hand at it on a small scale before long. She says, however, that she wants to be a librarian her fondness for books ought to aid her in this. But whatever she does, we feel sure that she will be successful at it.

Lina Belle has entered and conquered all of our campus world. She has a most pleasing personality, exceptional wit and truly admirable character. In her we find a combination of the noteworthy qualities of George Ade, Alexander the Great, Shakespeare, and Queen Victoria their virtues, but not their faults.

Even keeping up with everything in school was not a big enough job for her, so, after her Sophomore year this sophisticated person decided to know the world. The Becca who came back to us after a year in the business world is wiser, more thoughtful, more sympathetic. There is still the old exuberance, but it is tempered with a deeper understanding of human nature. We have grown to love our adopted child, and feel confident that in future years we will be able to point to her achievements with a sense of pride. I Polymnian; Kappa Gamma Tau; Shorter Players. IN MEMORIAM Of our beloved Mary, departed this state Sunday, November 6, 1927, to Chattanooga, Tenn., to enter the holy bonds of matrimony. Mrs. Dwigbt Redman, as Mary Smith, revealed her powers in both literary and athletic fields, and her sudden departure has been keenly felt by the entire college.

Charactrized by generosity and unselfishness, Ruth has a nature that is friendly and cheerful at all times. Her cheerfulness is greatly to be wondered at, as she is majoring in Math and minor- ing in Physics. Courage can be well added to her attributes. She was chosen to be both secretary and treasurer of the Science Club, a club noted for having programs composed of material far above the level of mere human thoughts. The girl with the friendly word for everyone that is Ruth.

French, to the extent that she enjoys membership in that select sorority known as the Beta Pi Theta. One would conclude that Myrtle will therefore be a very efficient teacher of irregular verbs and Parley Voos, but when she is asked about her intentions to teach she says she dosn ' t know exactly whether she will teach or n ot which might sound suspicious and then might not. But if she teaches or if she doesn ' t, we wish her luck and happiness. WILLIE MAE VAN SANT Piedmont, Alabama Polymnian; Hispanic Society; Camerata Club, Secretary and Treasurer, ' 27, Vice-President, ' 28; Honor Roll, ' 27, ' 28. Petite Willie Mae has often inspired wonder in our hearts that one so small and young should be allowed to wander from home, nurse and mother. But upon even short acquaintance we are again reminded of the fact that appearances are apt to be deceitful. Almost any Saturday after- noon she may be seen clutching a small week-end bag in each hand trudging down the seventy- two steps street-car-ward. And almost any other night she may be heard proclaiming to Shorter at large that it Ain ' t Nobody ' s Business If I Do. But this capability is hidden to the casual observer beneath a piquant daintiness that captivates all with whom she comes in contact. 44 NELL WAI.THALL .....................

If anything clever or original is gotten up, be it a stunt or program of any kind, a short story, a skit, a toast or a bit of verse, a freak of any description, and if the author of it is inquired after, no one has to ask twice, Who did it? because the answer is invariably, Nell. She has originated all of the charming parties given by the Class of ' 28. She, as vice-president of the Eunomians in ' 27, delighted her audience with varied and unique entertainment, and some day when a best-seller is wildly acclaimed, no one need ask, Who wrote it? for the answer will still be, Nell. MARY KRYAN WEAVER Thomaston, Georgia Polymnian; Hispanic Society, President, ' 27; MacDowell Choral Club; Student Treasurer, ' 28; Honor Roll, ' 27. Charming, demure, are the words that best describe Mary Bryan. She has that sweetness of disposition that gains friends everywhere. Mary Bryan went first to Wesleyan, and at the end of two years, when her winning personality had completely subjected all of Macon, she journeyed to Shorter to conquer new worlds. Mary Bryan is of noble mind, serene and kind. ELIZABETH PENELOPE WILLS Washington, (Jeorgia Kuii ' -niian; Student Council, ' 26, ' 27; Vice-President Student Government, ' 28; Kappa Gamma Tau; MacDowell Choral Club, President, ' 28; Vice-President Athletic Association, ' 27; Volley Ball, ' 27, ' 28; Basketball, ' 26, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28, Captain, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28; Baseball, ' 27, ' 28; Track, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28; Wearer of S ; Honor Roll, ' 25, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. Penelope, more familiarly known as Penn, occupies a place in Shorter hearts that can never he filled when she is gone. She owes much of her fame to her athletic ability, having been the idol of the basketball fans for four years and captain of her team for three. Needless to say, her team has won the championship each of these years. But unlike some athletes, her brains do not lie solely in her feet she has made the Honor Roll three years out of the four. Penelope is one of the fortunate few who are endowed with more than one talent. Besides being both athletic and intellectual, she is musical as well, possessing a voice of rare sweetness, with which she has de- lighted Shorter ears on many occasions. Added to these is a charming personality made up of friendliness, sympathy, humor and wit. EVELYN WRIGHT Columbus, Georgia I ' olymnian; Choral Club; Classical Club; International Relations Club, President, 28; Cotillion Club, President, ' 28; Honor Roll, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. It seems to be the prevalent opinion that history and dancing have nothing in common; and that the prim, scholarly president of the History Club would be most uncongenial with the shallow, flighty president of the Cotillion Club. If this were true, Evelyn would be kept busy calming the inner conflicts between her two natures. In her we find the combination of the two extremes, and it is a combination that is rich with the finer qualities of each. Our consolation in giving her up is that when she leaves the Hill in June Shorter ' s loss will be the world ' s gain. 46 Martha won ' t tell us what her ambition is, but we do know that the boys demand a lot of her time and interest. We have an idea that she will choose matrimony as her profession. Certainly if she continues to hold as her philosophy of life, Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone, we may safely prophesy success in whatever she undertakes. 47 You ' ve heard about the classes here, The classes far and near, But have you ever heard about The class ice hold so dear? The half has never yet been told About a single lass, Of the up and get, the pep and grit Of the girls of the Senior Class. O, ivhoop-em-up and u ' hoop-em-up And whoop-em-up some more; Senior Class is the class That ive all adore. She ' s such a peach, she ' s won our hearts, She surely plays the game; She is not tough, she is not rough, But she gets there just the same. We ' ll u ' hoop-em-up and u ' hoop-em-up And ivhoop-em-up some more, And u ' hoop-em-up and whoop-em-up, Until our life is o ' er. And when at last u ' e come to sit With chillun round the door. We ' ll teach them that the thing to do ]s whoop-em-up some more. 49 Highminded Junior Class is Hiyhminded B ' lieve to my soul they ' re double jinted; They can work and don ' t mind it, All day long! 5 J unior Class OFFICERS ANNA PIDCOCK Piquant President HELEN DYE Decided Vice-President MASSIE LAKE Leisurely Secretary INEZ RUMBLE Roguish Treasurer Junior Class MARGARET ALLEN Admirable HAPEVILLE, GA.

Laughter and love and song they made, And wandered in fields where posies grow ; But now that the flowers they plucked must fade, What shall we say as they turn to go? Though one were as wise as Solomon And failed at never a task essayed ; Had raced, a runner not yet outrun, What shall she say when none have stayed, And over the campus the silent shade Of twilight falls, and the watchers know The ghost of the college year is laid ? What shall we say as they turn to go? The fates have met and twisted and spun And out the thread with a silver blade; The hour is struck, the sands are run, Visards are off in the masquerade. There is worse than the pain of a debt unpaid, Chill more bitter than winds can blow In this epitaph for a lost comrade; What shall we say when they turn to go? ENVOI Prince, to whom we erstwhile prayed, Of Heartfelt Things that are whispered low; When throats catch and lips are afraid, What shall we say when they turn to go? 62 Soph ornore Class OFFICERS MARY WALLACE President MIRIAM AUSTIN Vice-President GLADYS HAGGARD Secretary MARTHA CAMP , . .

MARY JULIA WILD EVERGREEN, ALA. 1 E, the Sophomores, Class of nineteen hundred thirty, have observed that the following rule s have been omitted from the handbook. Our kind regard for the future classes of Shorter prompts us to put them in printed form where they may be read and heeded. 1. Throw all trash out the windows it might contaminate the chutes. 2. Light bell is rung to announce that rec is over. Now you may play bridge without fear of missing anything. 3. Leave your lights burning at night. It saves turning them on in the morning. 4. Save all letter writing for class. The Prof might think you ' re taking notes. 5. Make all the noise possible during study hour. It sounds so cheerful. 6. Always chew gum wl)en talking to Miss Mell. She will be impressed by your nonchalance. 7. Never show Senior deference. The Senior wouldn ' t understand. 8. You may not ride with unmarried men. The divorce courts need trade. Q. Always be late to meals. Interest in food is so plebian. IO. Absolute noise must be observed in the library. It is a place of social gathering and silence would indicate lack of culture. i i. Don ' t file upon going to town. If you decided to jump in the Coosa your file would be incorrect and severe punishment would result. Signed: MARY WALLACE, President GLADYS HAGGARD, Secretary 71 When young lips have drunk deep of the bitter water of Hate, Suspicion, and Despair, all the love in the world cannot wholly take away that knowledge; though it may turn darkened eyes for awhile to the light and teach faith where no faith was. -Kipling.

Frances couldn ' t stand the notoriety she had to sit down. Mary Routh and Cleone paused just long enough for us to get a hurried snap. They are in a hurry so we won ' t detain them longer. Penelope Wills and Grace Jackson are so devoted to athletics that it is surprising that they could be induced to give up a mome nt to pose for their snapshot. Tipton-Killingsworth ! We would advise that you not try to read in their names any significance, for you might think you were dealing with a tabloid newspaper. Our faith in human nature is child-like, but if Martha and Louise, surrounded by winter coats and chilling breezes, can look you in the eyes and say they ' re warm, they can outdo the sun it hid behind the cloud. Frances is watching for the traditional bird in the camera, but Edith just laughs she knows better. Stop shivering and warm yourself, Lou and Martha Drake, coats and the sun are endeavoring to warm up the landscape, that got such a blow in the picture before last. Don ' t be deceived, gentle reader, Julia and Jessie would have you think they were accustomed to have the society editor stop them on the way to town for a snap. It took them twenty minutes to prepare for this. Extra! Extra! Dot Brown was caught without a grin on her face! Willie Mae looks worried, too. Could a Chemistry exam be anywhere in the background? If you had been drug out to have your picture made after three heavy classes and one light lunch, you wouldn ' t care what the picture looked like a bit more than Mary and Edith do. ' A If Senior-Soph, pictures last much longer these town girls are going to feel at home in the court. Blanche and Frances have first claim on this tree. Haggard and Hardy they may be Haggard from exams, but they look Hardy enough for an afternoon on Broad Street. Anne and Mary are poets of the Romantic School. They believe in counting only the sunny hours. We dislike being a crowd, so we ' ll leave Ruth and Glennie to serenade each other. Dot and Evelyn would have you think they were tennis enthusiasts, but they are just posing. Twenty minutes after this was taken they were drinking cokes at Norton ' s. Such a nice little home scene. We just won ' t discuss Elizabeth and Louise. They ' re heartless creatures to bring up a scene like that. If Rosalyn and Ruth can cheat Mr. Carson out of six cents we recommend them for the hall of fame. With an eye for the future Hannes and Dasher took up this impressive pose so they can prove to their grandchildren that they were never undignified. Doris and Mary requested that we say that they would have felt much more at home if they had been seated at the first table on the left at Hale ' s. Just to prove that they ' re true democrats Becca and Carlton will try to get down to your level. Those are Becca ' s feet in the background. Miriam likes to watch the little birdie Isabelle isn ' t sure but she ' s determined, anyhow. Young and Little part of it may be true, but judging from appearances we are skeptical about the latter half anyway. Hall-Wild After taking 40 Senior-Soph snapshots it is not surprising that Corrie Etta went Wild ; and unless Mary Julia ' s looks are deceiving many others would like to follow her example. We tried to get this picture in Pathe News, but they demand axes and ice as visible proof beyond facial expression that it was five below zero. Isn ' t this a touching pose? Mary and Lucy are giving a living example of Senior- Soph, devotion. Scene with Martha just a Dot on the landscape. Now here is something to wonder about! Margaret and Martha, town girls, caught on the campus after classes. Our Student Body president caught off duty while her chosen Soph still remains on high. That here is a Kentucky belle and a Georgia peach is what Ruth Evans and Sara Leila Adams would have you think when you see them posing around the Sun Dial. Brown and Houser! No, girls, we aren ' t describing a real estate attraction for newly weds, but introducing an engaging couple. Halliburton himself is no more fearless than Ethnel and Elizabeth were when they dared to stand above the ice and face the camera, coatless. Are you well-read? Do you know the longest hour ever recorded in history? Ask Virginia, she ' s an authority on the subject. Let us introduce a special Shorter chorus. Their reign was brief but triumphant their favorite tune is entitled Cuckoo. Mr. Carlson regrets having to leave the Shorter campus, but his experience in jumping Shorter students has opened up a new career strong man in vaudeville. Frances and Betty used this bench while it was still intact. The Junior Prom comes in May. Emmie and Sally Blanche don ' t like publicity, so while we know plenty we will comply with their wishes and say nothing about them. The Senior-Soph, basketball game causes a difference of opinion to arise in the hearts of the most devoted sisters. We hate to go against Cooper, but we ' re strong for Nelle today. As last representative of that unforgetable bond between the Seniors and our Soph chillun Ruth and Ena Mae strike the chord that starts us singing anew the old Whoop-Em-Up refrain. To Victoria we will all the peace and quiet of hours with no telephone calls for the Class of ' 28. We ' re proud of Spencer and have a tender place in our hearts for him except at 7:37 any week day morning. When we despair of teaching the younger generation table manners we shall send them to Steve. He has proved his competence. k-kk-kVkk-4kk k Wk ' frVk ' ki fiDVERTCE THE FAHY STORE Established 1873 The Shorter (Girls ' ) Route TO Smart Fash ions is FAHY ' S The House of Carolyn Modes School Catalogues and Illustrations Prom Programs and Invitations Leather Dance Favors and Covers Fraternity and Class Stationery THE CHAS.
