' II Dr. Charles W. Burts President Dear Members of the Class of ' 52, With the Class of ' 52 I have a deep feeling of kinship. This is understandable. We entered Shorter together; wc were freshmen at the same time. Now, after four years, graduation is near. These years have been eventful. You have been busy with many activities of student and academic life. Sincere congratidations to you on vour achievements dining these years. You will look back upon these years as happy, mean- ingfid years. We believe, too, that you have re- ceived at Shorter much which will be valuable in living a rich, fidl life. May this life bring peace of mind and soul to you as well as sig- nificant service to those with whom you come in contact. We shall be thinking of you and wishing for each of you genuine and abiding joy. Sincerely, Charles W. Burts, Pres. f ADMIIVISTRATIDIV Dear Class of 1952: Only foiu ' short years ago you first came to Shorter! Today you are Seniors approaching the end of yoiu ' college days. Tomorrow you go out as college graduates— ready to take your place in the world at these luuertain times.

Then— bedlam! The old girls relmned, rushing began, and before long we had chosen our ' society. Screams everywhere —ratting had begun. That was soon to end however and we felt closer as a class. VVe chose Liz as our president and soon our big sisters gave us a party and oiu banner— 1952. Then the Vhoop-em-u]3 Uniting Ceiemony and oin first party for our big sisters. The Old South came through on top and we were now look- ipig forwaril to oiu ' Sophomore year. Sept. 19-19: We were So]jhomores now! VVe were old girls aiul did the rushing and ratting. We had lost a few members of our class but we were 80 in nimiber. Liz was oiu leader again and we were soon singing to our big sisters on Senior Hall. Christmas time and we started a new tradition— singing before break- fast. Then came Sports ' Awards Day and we ere the proud parents of six cups including the generation cup. We ended this year with a daisy chain that was all daisies and a thrill that we coiddn ' t express as we sang Dreams for the first time. There was a lump in our tl ' .roats as we said goodbye to the Class of ' 50 but we were looking forward to having oiu o vn little sisters , the Class of ' 54. Sept. 1950: Our Jiniior year and how we had dwindled! At last our little sisters were a reality and 41 thrilled ' 52ers sang Dreams to them with Spikcr at the helm. Spring again and our little sisters ' party for us. We were mighty proud as we attended the Shorter State Fair . Again it was Sports ' Awards Day and although we didn ' t have as many cups this year we had the biggest— the Participation Cup— and were we proud of it! Class day and for the first time we put on those caps and gowns. Sept. 1951: We were Seniors— it was oin year and we were more than a little frightened as the thoughts of comprehensives came into mind. Wedding bells had called several mem- bers of our class but there were still 32 of us, led by Mitey . Springtime again and another wonderfid party given by oiu ' little sisters. This time the Wizard of Oz was riding over Whoop-em-up Land and our hearts almost burst with pride. Those four years that had seemed so far away in ' 48 now come to a close and as we leave we turn over the red and blue ideals of Whoop-em-ups to the Class of 1954 hut— The dreams ice love best live luitli us always .

The new passengers are oiu ' little Sister class who got aboard in the best Hi-Miniietl spirit ever! And that record we broke dining health week! How could we ever forget— The climax of this year came with the party given by the Freshmen. It was wonderfid and we will be reminded of it all next year as the Hi-Minded Train takes its place in Senior Den and we begin om- reign on Senior Hall.

Having overcome the greenness of freshmen and the new life we foimd at college, we were encouraged to begin another year with more determination and confidence. Nothing could have added more to our ego than being mighty ratters. Don ' t tell the freshmen, but those black attires and nocturnal visits were just as frightening to us. Other top events of the year included: oin- first experiences with being on the persuasive side of rushing; winning sei ' eral ball games: the times our Big Sisters sang to us, especially at Christmas when they brought us a tree decorated with candy canes; and, perhaps the greatest event of the year was when we journeyed with out Big Sisters up the yellow brick road to the Whoop-Em- Up City ! It is hard to realize that we ha e reached the half-way mark in our college career, but we look to the future with eager hearts anticipating a big year as Juniors and as Big Sisters .

With this in our hearts we look for- ■ vard to om- next year at Shorter. Part of the fun for us this year was our Big Sisters singing to us and our retiun engagements; the thrill we experienced when oiu ' Big Sisters gave us our banner; working together and ■ilnling the show stiuit night, and our grand basketball team bringing home the cup. Amidst all the cries of button rat , jimijj rat wc realized we were drawn closer to our Big Sisters, ratters, and each other. Oiu ' biggest thrill came from planning and giving our first Hi-minded Party. These are but a few of the many memories of our first year on Shorter Hill.

It is the aim ot the Sports Association to teach an interest in sports to every Shorter girl. Every afternoon at 4:30 we hear the familiar sound of Cece ' s vhistle and the yell, Sports Practice ! To promote special interest the Sports Association sponsors hikes, games, play days, and of course the old traditional Health Week. With the help of the White and Gold and the entire efforts of every girl at Sliorter. wc have seen a steady increase of interest in keeping physically fit.

Though the entire student body is enrolled in the Asso- ciation, its work is directed by a group of stu- dents known as the cabinet . Tlie presidents of the denominational groups are ex-officio members of the cabinet. S.C.A. sjionsors a variety of activities, in- cluding the Daily Morniiig Watch, the Tues- day evening or Mid-Week Worship Service, and Sunday Vespers. In an effort to make re- ligion practical, we endeavor to sponsor some form of social service, both at home and abroad. In the fall the Hallowe ' en Carnival proceeds are used to fill Thanksgiving bas- kets and to give other practical aid to needy families of Rome. The association contributes to the Vorld Student Service Fund, the Fos- ter Parents Plan and to work toward a world Christian commimity. Our specific purpose is for every Shorter girl to realize a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. In this task, we seek to understand Christ and to follow Him.
