Furry President Pane Twenty m THE ARGO SENIORS BECOME ALUMNAE Vy HEN this volume of The Argo appears, the Seniors of 1931 of Shorter ' College will have become Alumnae and with diplomas rightly sealed and signed will have gone forth into a lasting relationship of daughters to their college which in turn becomes their Alma Mater for all time. For the view that one ' s college career ends after four years is fundamentally wrong. We have doubtless been making too much of Commencement. Once a matriculate, always a matriculate. The relationship which is entered into in becoming students is a life-long relationship and demands filial affection upon the part of daughters an undying affection for the institution that has been, after the home, the dominant factor in shaping their careers. As graduates of Shorter the Seniors of 1931 have become permanent members of a sisterhood who call their college, Alma Mater. In consequence of their having been admitted to the degree, Artium Baccalaiireiim they have become members of a Society of Scholars. As the Class of 1931 leaves the college, her halls, her teachers and her intimate and personal claims and fellowships, it is hoped that the institution will become very human, very real and the ideal of being true and loyal to it, to the life it has revealed, and to the goals it sought ever to keep before them will grip them with ever increasing depth and power. It is to be hoped also that they will always love and honor the college which has nourished and inspired them. To the college the members of the class brought much, carefully selected group that you are. To the college you have given much in leader- ship, example and service; in beauty, in art and speech; in friendship, fidelity and scrupulous honor. Shorter will always think of you as capable, resourceful and reverent. Commencement Day means a parting between a mother and her daughters. That mother is Shorter College. You graduates, members of the Class of ' 31, are the daughters; and no mother was ever more interested in her daughters than Shorter in you. For Shorter would be remembered by you not as a mere con- genial habit for four years nor a mere Institution of learning Shorter would forever be known by you as a mother, the mother of fair love and fear, and of knowledge and holy hope.

Mel Dean of Women Paije Twenty-two I THE iSas N this first year of a new decade, the Argo again goes forth reflecting the life on Shorter Hill as seen through new eyes, and as registered upon the minds and hearts of another group of Seniors. Year after year these memories of Shorter are stored up to bring, as time goes by, sadness to the hearts and a smile to the lips of Shorter girls grown old enough to indulge in reminiscences. These volumes tell a constantly recurring story of girlhood growing into woman- hood, of immaturity changing into maturity, of careless youthfulness gaining sweet dignity, of narrow interests giving place to breadth of vision, of evolution on the mountain-top. The mountain-top! Perhaps there is the secret of Shorter ' s gifts to her daughters, of that elusive spirit which touches the life of each dweller within that magic circle of beauty. With the peaceful valleys and the wooded hills stretching off to the far horizon, girls have learned the beauty of truth, the strength of honor and the joy of work. In a cleaner, freer atmosphere there has come a higher, clearer call to life. And Shorter sends out women to answer that call with a knowledge of the seriousness of living and faith in the power of learning to insure the good life. May the Seniors of this year, carrying with them the Shorter heritage, have the rich, full lives possible for the college women of 1931. Mildred R. Mell.

It aims to so regulate the life of the college community that the business of being a student may be carried on under the most favorable conditions. Over and above this it reinforces and extends the education of the classroom by giving to each Shorter girl the opportunity of learning to live as honorable and unselfish citizens in a commuity, and of assum- ing the responsibility devolving upon a self-govern- ing group. It desires to make its contribution to the solution of one of our country ' s problems by sending out from college law-respecting citizens. To learn to live wisely, worthily and well, to share life ' s burdens and responsibilities, to be hon- orable in all things, should be the purpose of every college girl.

The Y. W. C. A. fosters several different types of services which are held regularly. Morning Watch is observed fifteen minutes after breakfast each school day and on Sunday. The Tuesday evening service is usually devotional in its nature but at times is utilized for the presentation of matters of interest to college Y. W. C. A. ' s. A Vesper service is held in the college chapel each Sunday and each member of the college community is expected to attend. The Association seeks to be a real spiritual force in the life of the Shorter girl, to bring her into fuller knowledge of the Savior and lead her to real con- secration of herself to the tasks of His Kingdom. Bible study and Christian service are urged so that character and conduct may be consonant with belief. Association with students throughout the world in movements looking toward the advancement of the Kingdom of God is encouraged but the Association never loses sight of the fact that its greatest op- portunity for service lies in meeting the needs of the individual girl.

Each society has its spacious and well furnished hall where meetings are held every Saturday evening. During the first two weeks of school there is much rivalry between the two societies in their quest for the largest number of new girls but after pledge day this is forgotten and Eunomia, and My Mammy gather their girls in, in their true fashion We ' re Eunomians born, we ' re Eunomians bred, And when we die, we ' ll be Eunomians dead, Rah, Rah, Eunomians, Rah, Rah, Eunomians, Rah, rah, rah. My Mammy told me Long time ago Said ' Chile, don ' t you join. Any other club you know. You ' ll lose all your honor, ' Crease all your woes, What in the world will become of you Nobody knows. $i Page KUjlitii-eiglit m THE ARGO INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB MAJORS IN HISTORY Marion Dyar President Josephine Hardman Vice-President Clara Knox ' Secretary Eloise Parker Treasurer FACULTY ADVISORS Miss Kellogg M:ss George Dr. Daily Miss Mlll Dr. Hall Dr. Ebauch MEMBERS Louise Barclay Florence Dodd Connie Ruth Irvin Betsy Printup Jane Broadhurst Eugenia Doughtie Sara Johnson Jane Shannon Eloise Brocdon Julia Early Ullainee Johnson Marjorie Schuler Nell Caldwell Emma Greer Geraldine Lego Joe Strain Clara Cayce Miriam Griffin Helen Morris Florence Todd Ellen Claxton Mabelle Harris Mildred Nix Catherine Wallace Jean Cleckler Sara Hughes Lillian Pierpont Mary Whitfield Louise Dobbs Grace Huguley Louise Partain Ruth Wilford Page Eif hty-uinv THE ' !

Slowly he gulps Until even the tip Of the receding red sun Is smothered into his infinite greyness. He bursts Light diffuses And small, dappled Ragged bits of cloud, Like little lambs, Frisk off over the horizon. Lenore Harvey. A DlA TW! DIANA TH HUNTRESS %.

Of course you know the Pepperell name on sheets. It also appears on thousands of overalls, work shirts, laboratory coats. You can see it on fine broadcloth shirts, on run- ning pants. Some Pepperell fabrics go to South America to be made into nitrate bags. Others go to India for boat sails. And every time this name Pepperell ap- pears on a fabric it means cotton economy. That is why it is sought by thrifty purchasers throughout the world.

HOW TO PASS THAT FINAL EXAM Enter the classroom liriskly with that know-it-all look, leisurely take a seat, nonchalantly grab one hist glance in your book, shut it with a bang and meet the professor ' s eye with a straight- forward gazfe. When he has finished writing the first question on the board scribble furiously on your paper as if writing the answer. Keep this up until the fellow next to you quits writing. Then put your hand on your forehead as if thinking but in reality reading the answer of the guy next to you. Put down his answer after the professor writes the next question on the board. Repeat when necessary. Just as you leave the rotmi remark in a loiul voice so that the professor can hear, Duck Soup, eh? This method never fails.

The entire senior class (39) are perfect ladies. 2. All are slated for success in whatever walks of life they take up. 3. Immediately upon being introduced to 67.89% of the class you will be impressed by their worth of character. 4. 90.3 3 ' f of the class came to Rome fresh and unsophisticated but the benign influence of the seven hills and the college finished the rough diamonds until they would now sparkle in the court of St. James. 5. 99 , are after the stronger sex (those not chasing the men are being chased by them, according to their biographers) . 6. 98.75 ' f number their friends by their acquaintances. To know them is to love them. Har-har-har! 7. The world of hard knocks is calling to a goodly number, and their biographers plead with them to be strong and accept the challenge. 8. 52.21% of them are the pride of their home towns in spite of the fact that their professors know them better. 9. It is claimed by some of the biographers that 10% of the class talk little but say much. They do not mention the other 90%, in this respect, and for the benefit of those who do not know the class of ' 31, the Editor will vouch for the fact that 90% talk much but say very little. 10. Most of the students in spite of their high hopes and ambitions will settle down on a little farm, live in a little house by a little brook and plant a little garden. X ?
