Stephens College - Stephensophia Yearbook (Columbia, MO)

FHLL V wi TEH svn: GQ This copy of the long-awaited Stephensophia represents a solid year of careful planning and patient execution. It has made pencil-chewing addicts of the junior staff, ink-smudged worriers of the senior staff, and gray-haired men of the sponsors. In spite of deadlines and dummies, however, working on the 'Sophie has been a glorious, exciting opportunity. And fun! We've tried to arrange the sections for your utmost enjoyment and convenience. QThe Table of Contents, for instance, is an innovation that we hope will prove useful.j The theme of the book is the three seasons of the college calendar: fall, winter, and spring. Each has its special color and symbols. This system neatly clarifies the continuity of the year's events, and will provide a permanent record in the future. Our photographers and writers have earnestly endeavored to capture an elusive, intangible, invisible atmosphere and plunk it down in black and white. Nothing could be quite so perplexing to put into words as the spirit of anything, let alone the original spirit of Stephens. We may show you various connected phases of how the college works, but to photograph the imperceptible bonds that hold it together is slightly impossible. There is a feeling of equality and democracy and mutual helpfulness on campus. How can we diagram the spontaneous comradeship that exists between girls from almost every state in the union? CNaturally, the Civil War is periodically refoughtlj How can we explain to you why the Ten Ideals stand for all that is line and clean and admirable? And it is just as absurd to try to convey exactly how we feel about silly songs and traditions . . . You needn't hunt for a football section, nor one on Beauty Queens. Nor will you be able to iind Grandpa's picture, Susie, when you are a decrepit but well-groomed Grandmother. We hope, however, that our concern over the angle of every picture and the length of every line of copy in this 'Sophie has produced for you a poignant memory book which will be the next best thing to re-living two happy invaluable years.
