FROM MINDS AND HEARTS SUCH AS THESE WILL COME NOT ONLY A GREATER SHORTER BUT A GREATER WORLD. I? 13 MEET THE PRESIDENT AND OUR DEANS 14 1 To the Senior Class: You will soon be graduates of Shorter. Those who have preceeded you here have taken the spirit of Shorter into a variety of activities. The influence of their leadership has been felt not only in their immediate communities but also in the wider areas of the South, our nation, and abroad. Your own achievements during your college days give every assurance that you also will be worthy representatives of your Alma Mater in whatever you may do. Your response to the opportunities of a larger citizenship will be made in the same gracious, loyal, and effective manner which characterized your contribution to your college community. Our appreciation of you will be constant and we will find in your future attain- ments a source of increasing pride. Paul M. Cousins, President. To the Class of 1946: As you leave us to take your places in the difficult but inspiring situations facing a post-war world, we are confident that the training and experiences you have had at Shorter, during your four years here as students, will enable you to meet such situations adequately and helpfully. Our unchanging interest and best wishes go with you, also our faith that you will represent your Alma Mater in a fine way at all times. Sincerely, Louise Bennett, Dean of Student Affairs. Each of you, Seniors, has made a contribution to Shorter. May Shorter ' s gift to you be ever increasing value throughout the years. You graduate with our seal of approval and we are proud to own you. Health, success, and happiness to you! Everett E.

For days could be heard up and down the halls Where are you from? You are? Oh, I know the cutest boy there and so, we got acquainted. Red, White, and Green; Green and Green, on and on and before we knew it we were good friends with the upperclassmen Weep- ing buckets on pledge day finally making our decision in the wee small hours. Wow! in the middle of the night we realized how big and important the Sophomores were, for they suddenly became our Supreme rulers. We knew then that Freshman wasn ' t such a big title after all. Election of leaders with Leila at the head and the joining of the Whoop- ' em Up Clan with the marriage of Leila and Barbara. The day we decided to g ive a different type party for our big sisters started our career of ' doing things different with plenty of red paper and little devils running around we gave our Hell Party. So the Class of 46 blossomed forth Sophomores we were stepping up in the world giving orders instead of taking them following our Freshman party by becoming angels and moving into Whoop- ' em Up Heaven. Hearing the school singing our song For de gals up at Shorter Sophomore tests and jumping two feet out of our seats when Dr. Parlett called time Winning all the softball games for the second year Being proud of our Sabots for all they did and for raising more money than ever raised prev- iously. Daisy, daisy, won ' t you come out and pick that huge daisy chain for our sis- ters. Juniors and we had little sisters the first night they sang to us Playday and walk- ing off with all first places. Eating Patsy ' s spaghetti suppers in Council Room, yum, y um being the first class to march in at Junior Recitals the thrill of finding out that we had first in the beauty section for three conse- cutive years. Junior-Frosh wedding boy those good-looking uniforms the girls wore wonderful, wonderful Frosh-Junior party. ' Shorter Women and There ' ll Always Be a Shorter Hill winning first and second in the song contest. Election of Florence and Jane, and Connie to lead us as Seniors. Feeling very strange when at last we donned the black cap and gown and started on the last mile. SENIORS - was it possible that we had actually gotten this far? The war was over men and more men began to appear on our campus. - Gosh ,we felt so SENIORERY the first time we were recognized in chapel. Elected Libby president! Worked like trojans for our beautiful Carnival Queen, Virginia McKissack, and didn ' t she look lovely the night she was crowned? Got used to those black robes when we had to march in at eleven marvelous recitals. Oh, that Sopho- more-Senior party and the wonderful Open House with an orchestra AND men the culmination of our doing things differently by having after dinner coffees with men and not staying on the Hill to study for comprehen- sives. - Graduation and farewells to the school we have lived in and loved for four years. Where ' er we go your ideals and standards will always go with us. Elizabeth New, Secretary. ' OK SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Libby Thomas .

Organizations at Shorter WE UNITE IN ORGANIZATIONS FOR IN UNITY THERE IS COURAGE AND STRENGTH FOR THE FUTURE. 64 r 65 Jne portd rd ociation Every Shorter student is a member of the Sports Association. It is the aim of this organization to promote not mastery, but an interest in sportsmanship and physical well being. So every afternoon at 5:30 we heard the familiar sound of Connie ' s whistle and the yell, Sports practice! To pro- mote especial interest, the Sports Asso- ciation has sponsored hikes, play days, and of course, the old tradition, Health Week. In the latter almost all the school came through 100 per cent. This testi- fies to the increased interest that Shorter girls are taking in keeping physically fit.

The entire student body is enrolled in the Association which is under the direction of student officers. The presidents of the denominational groups are ex-officio members of the cabinet; they work to make religion synonymous with life. The S. C. A. sponsors a variety of activities. Included among these are the three worship services: daily morning watch, the Tuesday evening worship serv- ice and Sunday Vespers. In an effort to make religion practical, the Christian Association endeavors to sponsor some form of social service. In the fall the Hal- loween carnival is an outstanding event, with good-natured rivalry concerning the carnival queen. The proceeds from this carnival are used to fill Thanksgiving baskets for needy families of Rome. In cooperation with the National and Inter- national Student Christian Movement our association contributes to the World Student Service Fund, and in other ways is seeking to work toward a World Christian Community ' . Our specific purpose is for every Shorter girl to realize full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. In this task we seek to understand Jesus and to follow Him.

The photographs ot the candidates which you submitted were all so attractive that I tound it ditticult to choose the winners. It was also extremely difficult to reach a decision with- out actually seeing the contestants and talking to them , The winners, listed on a separate sheet, were chosen on the basis of character, person- ality and i n t e I I i gnece, as well as for natural beauty. My choice was influenced, of course, by my great int- erest in and admiration for the Natural Girl. If any of the participants dre ever In New York, it would be a pleasure to see them.
