' e Atoned of the L laAA of 46 Gee, I ' ll soon be a freshman in college was the most outstanding phrase in the minds of sevently-three girls that hot day in September, 1942, when the Class of ' 46 first hit the Hill. 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.
