MATHILDE PARLETT For the inspiration she gives her students to seek further knowledge. This, the thirty-first edition of the ARGO, is a book without a theme. It is, rather, a record of a period from the history of Shorter College. We, the class of 1939, present this book with three purposes in mind: that it will be a foundation for recollections of pleasant times spent on the hill; that it will serve to remind us to uphold the ideals learned in our four years at Shorter; and that those who succeed us will find here an inspiration for constant progress toward a greater Shorter.

Your talents have been so varied, your achievements so many, and so worthwhile, that you will be remem- bered in the history of the college as a most outstanding class. Shorter College takes pride in the record you have made and we will follow with affectionate interest and confident hope your careers as alumnae. We wish for you abundant happiness and the satisfaction which comes from the investment of life in sincere service. PAUL M. COUSINS, President. BOARD TRUSTEES OFFICERS T. B. OWENS President F. S.
